Raegan's 2nd Birthday

I still can't believe my baby girl turned TWO this weekend! 

We had such a fun weekend celebrating with family and friends. On Saturday (her birthday) we surprised her with birthday donuts and a trip to the Indianapolis zoo. She is obsessed with all things animals and loves hearing and imitating animal sounds, so I knew she would have the best time. We took her to the zoo last year for her first birthday and I thought it would be fun to make the zoo a birthday tradition for these younger years. Plus the weather is always perfect this time of year!
Now that the birthday fun is over I'm ready for FALL!! :)

We celebrated with family and friends at her birthday party on Sunday. I was so thankful for another beautiful day and perfect weather since her party was outdoors at one of our favorite parks. I had envisioned a magical, whimsical purple and gold bohemian themed party, and it ended up not looking anything like I'd planned! :(
 I actually DIYed a lot more than you see in the pictures but could not get anything to stay on these concrete walls! I baked her cake and frosting from scratch that morning so I was already running short on time (party started at 2), and after multiple failed attempts at putting up decor and guests already arriving, I decided to just let it gooooo *frozen voice* and enjoy the afternoon with my loved ones. Talk about a blogging fail though! Ha ha I'm still sad about it.

Watching Raegan playing and having so much fun outside on such a beautiful day, for her birthday, made the party all worth it, and we all had a wonderful and memorable afternoon spent celebrating.
All weekend we asked her how old she was and she'd sweetly shout "TWO!" Our party guests almost died from the cuteness when we asked her at her party.
She had such a great time she didn't have time to have any of her birthday cake! She wouldn't even sit down while we sang Happy Birthday without throwing a fit, I had to hold the cake in front of her. Yeah, the dreaded toddler tantrums have been happening for weeks now in our house. ;)

You can't tell she loves Minnie Mouse at all, right? ;)
She literally got a Minnie Mouse-something from everyone. I'll be sharing more of her gifts in my next blog post!

Happy 2nd birthday Raegan! You are the prettiest, smartest, sweetest and silliest little girl. You are full of joy and love. I will always love to celebrate you and your birth day and no matter your age, you will always be my baby. I love you, sweet girl.
