Abigail Street

For Abigail's second birthday, we celebrated her favorite friends (Bert, Ernie, Grover, Big Bird, and Cookie Monster) with a Sesame Street themed party!

Unlike last year, she really noticed the details, so it was a lot of fun putting this party together.  Special items included two huge Big Bird and Elmo balloons, a bubble machine (that was a hit with all the kids!), Mac and Cheese and Potato Salad (birthday girl's favorites), and a handmade banner that took 5 hours waaaay too long to make  :)

We invited Abigail's closest friends, a few of her baby friends, and lots of family over for a party which tipped the scale at 40+ (so much for that low-key plan...)

Here are some pictures from the day.  I'm not sure if she'll remember this party some day, but I sure will... being pregnant and hauling tables, tents, and chairs around; making over sized banners, and cutting numerous decor items isn't exactly what 35 week pregnant ladies crave, but seeing her reactions was worth every moment of work.

Even Molly dressed up as Dorthy for the occassion  :)
