The "not a party" Party

This year we decided not to have a big birthday bash for Emma Claire. We did invite a few friends over to trick or treat then have dinner and cupcakes to celebrate our two year old. So of course I decorated the house for our "not a party". Ha!

Since it was also Halloween we had all of our fall decor up, and I let the hubs put out some of "his" decorations. Aka: anything scarier than mine.

From left to right: Miss Tylar the bumblebee, Emma Clarie the pink poodle, and Gracie as the cutest blue monster ever.

She had SO much fun with her friends.

We decided last minute that we would dress up too. As a frat guy/sorority girl. Sadly it wasn't too much of a stretch for us... ;-)

Friends!

Hubs turned the visor sideways...time to party ;-)

Emma Claire loves our friend Chris and Bekah so so much. Sometimes I'm pretty sure she'd rather go live with them. So naturally she was thrilled they came to celebrate her birthday.

These two were so cute together.

Mr. Jake was the only little guy at the party. They showed up after dark so I don't have any pictures of him trick or treating with the girls but he was the cutest little monkey!

After all of our friends left we had some family time, just reading books and talking with Emma Claire.

Love her little toes.

Sweetness.

Sometimes I just can't believe she's MINE.

And just like that she is TWO.
