adella's 2nd birthday party! i tried not to go too far overboard, but how can i resist when my baby is celebrating two whole years on the planet? it was a great party - i was a bit nervous at first, since adella was passed out on the couch when everyone arrived. ever since she turned two, she's decided she no longer needs naps. but there comes a point (usually around 3pm) when she has no choice but to stop and catch a few winks. so she was asleep when the guests arrived, but woke up fairly easily and jumped right in to play. everyone had a great time - the balloons were a big hit with the kids, and the mamas and papas got to hang out and talk, almost like real adults. so, here are a few pictures of the big event:
