Kinley's 2nd Birthday Party!

Saturday we had Mckinley's 2nd birthday party here at our house. Less a few minor accidents, (I'll explain later) it was a huge success and Mckinley had a blast. Over the last year Mckinley has grown a great love for Elmo, so of course I had to give her an Elmo party. We had Elmo cupcakes, Sesame Street colored decorations, and treats from Elmo's friends. We grilled up burgers and let the kids play on the play-toy and sandbox in our yard. Most importantly Mckinley had so much fun with all of her friends and family--thank you everyone who was there to celebrate her big day! We are really lucky to have such amazing family and friends to share in special moments like this with us.

Mckinley has been enjoying all her fun presents since the moment we opened them. I think we have used/played with every single gift in the last 24 hours (MANY times). As I type, Mckinley is pushing her new baby around in her new cart--"going to store" apparently. :)

So on to the "minor" accidents that Mckinley had the day of her party. First, she fell from the top of her play-toy ladder (about 4.5 feet-5 ft up!!). Luckily I was in the house and did not witness it, but I heard the thump she made hitting the ground from inside our house. Even more lucky, and most important, is that she was totally ok. She obviously was freaked out and I'm sure it hurt like crazy, but no injuries to speak of! Thank God. Then a little while after that incident, she was accidentally hit in the head by the hard plastic seat of a rope swing--ouch! Again, after a little mommy-time and a few gummy worms she was off and playing (just with a small goose egg on her head!). She didn't let any of these things affect how much fun she had at her party though.

So, overall her party was a great success--memorable to say the least. Since her actual birthday is not until Wednesday I am still holding on to the fact that she is not quite two--just 1 year, 11 months, and 27 days!

Now pictures!!
