Happy 2nd Birthday, Lexi!

So, Lexi's real birthday is tomorrow, but since it is the Sabbath, we celebrated with her friends today! We had such a fun time and here are the pictures to prove it!

This is what her invite looked like! If you can't tell it is a pizza party theme!

Here are the girls making their chef hats! They covered them in stickers, crayons, markers, and foam pieces. Then, they got to wear their aprons to get ready for making pizza!

I did not get any pictures of the kids making the pizzas :( but while the pizzas were baking, they danced and sang to a Barney Sing A Long. Lexi had the most fun, I think, but the girls enjoyed it and it was just the right amount of time to "stall" until it was lunch time! The picture is blurry, but it was hard to get my camera to take good moving shots!

Here is just a pic of most of the people at the party! Thanks everyone for coming!

Here is the serving table. This was most of the decorating for the party so Chris got a good shot of it!

This is Alexis opening her presents. This was quite the ordeal. All the girls wanted to open the presents, and ALL the girls thought the present they brought was for them to take home. We didn't want any hurt feelings so we made a compromise. The girl that brought Lexi the gift being opened could help her open it and find a spot for it in Lexi's room. This worked out rather well. And, Lexi was not quite into opening the gifts so the girls helped it get done faster! Then, we moved right on to cake and eventually we got through it!

I made Lexi a pizza cake, since it was a pizza party! The girls LOVED it. We brought it out in a pizza box and they were confused at first and then when they were eating they thought it was neat that it looked like pizza but tasted like cake. Blowing the candle out was funny. Before Alexis could do it, all the other girls did it when the song was over. So, we re-lit the candle to see if Lexi could do it by herself and she couldn't so the girls got to help her out again! It was funny. Anyways, the girls downed the cake, and Lexi wanted seconds so I assumed it was tasty!

Lastly, her is baby Zoey. She is Whitney's little sis. She was laying on the couch as you can see, and somehow she got hold of this balloon. We have no idea how it happened, but it was so cute. She loved it!

All in all, it was a fun party, but man am I tired! Lexi seemed to really enjoy it, even though she doesn't look to enthused in the pics. And, when all her friends left she was sad, she cried. But we gave her a balloon and she got over it. I am glad for friendships though so that special occassions are even more special :)
