This past Saturday we had Julia's birthday party with her friends and the theme this year was of course Elmo. Thomas and I decorated the night before and this was Julia's reaction when she came down in the morning. She was quite excited to see all the Elmo 'stuff.' 
Again we ordered a cookie cake since they are so good. Julia picked out the Big Bird and Elmo car that's on the top. It was between an airplane and the car and of course she picked the car. On the right you can even see her Elmo candle a little which she thought was really cute! 
Here's a picture of the Elmo game that the kids played. They had to put their orange nose sticker on the Elmo nose on the poster. Two kids were very close but the other four were way off. It thought it was so easy but apparently I was wrong. Julia put her sticker right on top of another girl on the right side. The actual directions say to blindfold them but they are still so little who knows where the stickers would have ended up.

Julia and Natalie are too busy eating their cake to even look at the camera. 
I managed to get a picture of Julia looking at the camera. She enjoyed her cookie cake and didn't get messy this year unlike last year. 
We decided to keep with the Radio Flyer birthday present theme and we got Julia this tricycle. It's perfect for mommy and daddy too since it has a tall handle in the back that we can use to steer and a huge added bonus is that we don't have to bend over while helping her. Julia was quite happy riding her new bike and the other kids enjoyed a ride too. 
Julia actually opened one of the cards too. 
Family photo after everyone left since we forgot to take one during the party. Mommy and daddy with our little 2 year old. I almost forgot to mention that it was such a beautiful day with the temperature around 66 degrees and sunny blue skies. In the afternoon Julia enjoyed some time playing outside on her swing, her wagon, and of course her new bike.
I looked this morning, but had to hurry off to school, so I didn't have enough time to write. Everything at the party looked wonderful, and the expression on Julia's face when she came down in the AM said it all. It makes everything worth it when you see such joy on her face. She is so precious.
