Celebrating Julianna's 2nd Birthday!

We had two early birthday parties yesterday for Julianna who will be 2 on Wednesday! The first one was in the AM with some kids and grownups from the neighborhood. Below is the birthday girl with pals Megan and Ally cuttin' a rug to some Hannah Montana tunes.



And more dancing. Doing the chicken dance here (Julianna's current favorite dance number) with Ms. Kim leading the revelers and Jordan resisting calls from the grownups to join in the fray.



Julianna goofing around with the bandanna the big kids used as a blind fold for the piñata (she wanted nothing to do with it herself). This was during the intermission between the two festivities.



And now for party #2. The garden playhouse from Ma & Pappap, and Mommy & Daddy. And outfits #2 of the day for both girls.





A horsey from Grandma.



Another horsey plus a horse purse also from Grandma.



The owl cake. Oreos with junior mints for the eyes, a banana runt for the nose, tape gum for the bow, chocolate chips for the spots, and edible Easter grass for the nest. (Notice Julianna still in outfit #2 and Karoline onto #3 of the day).







A close-up of Kristi and Jane's owl cake creation. It was as delicious as it was pretty.



An owl hair bow Kristi made for Julianna for the occasion.



And a couple owl decoration thingies Kristi made (don't ask how many felt feathers she cut and glued by hand).
