Grant's 2nd Birthday

A Goodnight Moon pajama party

Hard to tell in this picture but those are Goodnight Moon pajamas that Grant is wearing

We decided early on that this party wasn't going to be nearly as over the top as Grant's 1st birthday.  I didn't even plan on doing a theme really but with Grant's love of the book Goodnight Moon it only seemed fitting. 

I did my best to convert our dining room into the scene of Goodnight Moon.  With the purchase of some clearance fabrics and my sewing machine, I was able to make the curtains and bunny's bed which also served as our serving table for all of the food. 

 

My fancy artistic skills included a picture of a cow jumping over the moon, with three little bears sitting on chairs nearby.
 

We also couldn't leave out the comb and brush and bowl full of mush.

The kids colored a scene from Goodnight Moon and a cow jumping over the moon.  They also painted stars to put in their goodie bags to take home.  Unfortunately because of all the illness going around right now we had a couple of children who couldn't make it so Grant and his friend Addie held down the fort painting.   

Overall, it was a great time... Laid back and relaxing with some of our family and some of Grant's friends.

 

 

We opted for cupcakes again this year made by a friend of ours who does it on the side.  They were delicious with handmade bunnies and cows to top them off!

 

Grant got some amazing gifts.  It will be a long time before he needs any trucks, tractors, or construction equipment.  He is a pro at tearing into wrapping paper and flew through opening everything. 

Thank you to everyone for celebrating Grant's 2nd birthday with us!


I will be waiting until after Grant's two year check up on Friday to do his 24 month post.
