We decided to try out a Friends birthday party for McKenna this year. It was a success! Although, I can't say I'll throw a 2-year-old BD party for all my kids... :)
We had the party in Dan's parent's backyard (better space and lighting) and invited McKenna's church nursery friends and 2 year old cousins. About 10 kids in all and parents stayed to play.
Dan borrowed a bounce house from his work and I realized after the fact that jumping is actually a tough motor skill for 2 year olds. :) Oh well. Most enjoyed it anyway!
Watching others do their "tricks"
Dan's parents have had a slide from an unassembled swing set resting against their house for months. We decided to try resting it on a set of stairs in their backyard for the kids to slide down. It quickly became the funnest activity of the party!
Other entertainment included this helicopter teeter-totter
and basketball hoop.
The kids played for about 40 minutes and then we had the treats!
Cupcakes, goldfish, chips, and juice.
Here's McKenna trying SO hard not to cry while everyone sang to her. She did GREAT!
Clapping after blowing out the candle.
Yummy!
Some of her fun new presents!
LOVE this girl! Happy Birthday McKenna Jean!
