It's hard to believe it, but Lexie turned 2 in November! We sure love our Lexie and I love to throw parties, so we celebrated her birthday with lots of PINK and her favorite character, Minnie Mouse.
Lexie absolutely loves shoes, and the day before her birthday I found some adorable puppy slippers that I knew she'd love. I was planning on wrapping them up and having her open them on her big day, but she discovered them and insisted on putting them on her feet right then and there. She wore those puppy slippers for almost 24 hours straight. The only time she took them off (and it was forced!) was to take a bath. She even slept in them the entire night. That is dedication.
Here she is shortly after waking up on her birthday. She's still wearing her slippers.
These were taken on her actual birthday. She got an adorable little apron and a Barbie that came with a pretend pink camera. She was "taking pictures" all night!
We had a little party the following Saturday and invited family and a few friends from Nursery class at church. Since Lexie is only 2 I didn't plan a lot of activities and it wasn't an especially long party. I set out some toys, snacks and a craft table to make foam crowns and fruit loop jewelry. It was basically one big play date. It was so much fun to plan a very girly party. I'd always wanted an excuse to use those cute polka dot balloons, and a Minnie Mouse theme was a perfect fit. It's the little things in life that make me happy.
We also got the biggest and BEST surprise - my sister, Tammi, drove down from Utah for Lexie's party!! We had no idea she was coming and it was SO MUCH FUN having her there!!! Thank you, Tammi for coming down! We were so glad you could be there!
Happy Birthday, Lexie Girl!
You are growing up to be quite the little lady and we love you so much!!
