Before I write my post, let me stress the importance of saving your post as you write it. I just finished writing a really long post about Klara's 2nd birthday and was seconds away from publishing it when my computer went crazy and I lost everything!!!! Oh how sad! So, my friends, this post will be saved several times while I am typing it. Hmph. ( I just saved it.)
So.....my precious girl turned 2 last week! I can't believe how fast time flies. I looked at her baby pictures on her birthday and just cried because it seems like so long ago that she was a tiny newborn. Anyways....I really wanted to have a monkey theme for Klara's party because she loves her Curious George doll and the cartoon. They are her favorites. However, Curious George stuff is all yellow and red. I could not, will not, never will have a yellow and red party for my girly girl (unless she asks for it, and even then I will beg her not to). I was not able to find cute and girly monkey stuff, so I made my own invitations out of monkey and jungle scrapbooking paper that was all glittery and girly. I also found a cute monkey cupcake design online. This year we wanted to invite more of Klara's little friends, so we were fortunate enough to be able to have her party at our church (thanks FBC!). March is so unpredictable in weather, so we are never brave enough to plan an outdoor party. The party turned out wonderful! Klara and all the kids had a great time!
looking through the window of her new dollhouse from Mommy and Daddy (you can see the little sink and part of the toilet...too cute!)
