Birthday Party Fever

**** THIS POST DID NOT POST ON THE RIGHT DAY!!!!!! SO ENJOY NOW!! ******

We have birthday party fever here.  You see, Johnny is turning TWO on May 11th!!  (wipe tear from cheek).  I hate that he is turning two but thrilled because he is getting significantly easier!  He was never hard but life is getting easier, much easier.  With the big birthday coming closer we have been planning all kinds of thing for his upcoming party.  He really loves trains (choo-choo) and so we decided it had to be a choo-choo party!  I even learned a catchy phrase to make the train theme tie in!  Choo Choo Johnny is turning 2!  I know cute!  We even found matching choo choo party themed goods.  It is going to be great.  I have thrown HUGE parties, more specifically birthday parties in the past, and I now know how silly that was and I refuse to do it again.  It stresses me out, costs too much and bottom line, is it really necessary?


Hollin's second birthday party was a Backyard Bash.  I thought that we were going to save money, it was going to be simple and small. WRONG!!!!  We invited too many people, it was not cheap (water bill was HUGE from the double water plastic blow up objects out back), and it was not simple.  I went totally overboard.  Hollin had fun!  However, it was also at her birthday when I cried (yes, I am that mom) that I realized I needed to have another and soon!  A month later we were prego!  Below are some pictures from Hollin's second birthday party.
