The Princess Birthday Bash

I have been meaning to put these up all week - but it takes so long to download pictures that I added pictures slowly. Unfortunately, since I did that, they are in completely random order and don't really tell the "story" of the party - but you get the drift! :) We had a blast celebrating the princess's 2nd birthday. About 11 of Ali's friends and their parents came over to celebrate! We bought Ali a moonbounce for her birthday and she was so excited when she came outside and saw it. (we decided to buy it rather than rent it since it was about the same price either way and this way we could get to use it again and again!) She also got a little bubble machine for her birthday that we used at the party and was also a hit! Ali had a great time and I hope her friends did too! Luckily it was a beautiful day outside - unfortunately, the leaves decided to fall and cover our backyard the day before so Ryan was great and got up early and cleaned the yard AND set up the moonbounce!! Everything went great! After some time outside playing, everyone came inside for Ali's princess cupcake cake and ice cream! (aka chaos) Below are some pictures of Ali's big day (the party was actually on her birthday!) in random order. I do know that the first one is of Rhodes, who slept through the entire party only to wake up at the end when the kids took over the playroom (where she was luckily napping in the swing - her first and only time to actually nap in the swing yet!)
