Lauren turns 2 on Friday, October 29 but we celebrated with a fun party yesterday, the 23rd. Her birthday falls during Halloween weekend so we didn't want to have it then so all of our family could come in town. We rented a petting zoo and pony to come to the house but had a Little Mermaid, Ariel theme inside. Totally goes together, right?? :) I couldn't pass up Ariel because she is one of Lauren's favorites!
Gifts and Party Favor Table
We didn't have an overwhelming large party. There were 8 kids, including Lauren, and 3 sweet babies. I wanted to keep it personal but include all of her sweet friends. It was the perfect amount. We loved having everyone over and enjoyed the entertainment :) My sister flew in from Dallas, cousins drove in from Charlotte, and my mom drove from Atlanta. Todd and I love to entertain but don't do it often. We live about 40 minutes from our closest friends so it was a treat having them over. We would love to do it more often!
Party Favor Bags Up Close :) I ordered the bag tags off of etsy. The shop name is on my sidebar.
Mermaid cookies for the kids to take home. I ordered these from a shop on Signal Mountain. It's called The Signal Mountain Cookie Lady. She is wonderful!
Lauren was quite in her element with the chicken. She would be just fine living on a farm. Me? Not so much....I'd prefer a highrise in the city!
We bought this bounce house from Toys R Us to keep at the house. I was trying to think of something that could entertain the kids after the Petting Zoo left. This ended up being perfect. The kids had so much fun and it was just the right size. We are definitely happy with this purchase!
Lauren riding the pony. She is a serious rider. I can scream and jump up and down all day long but she still won't look at the camera. She loved it, I promise!
I'll post more pictures later this week. That was the just of her party though :)

That was an awesome party. I have seriously considered the bounce house purchase . . how hard is it to blow up, put down & store?
