We decided on a "Pancakes & Pajama" party theme for Addie's 2nd birthday party. Addie loves "cake" as she calls them for breakfast and who doesn't? I mean they are so yummy, come in all types of flavors - chocolate chip is Addie's fave, and are topped with whatever your heart desires. The breakfast food wouldn't be complete without adorable toddler pajamas, so that's just what we did. This party was so much fun to plan (and also so easy!) and was so perfect for our pancake loving, pajama wearing, crazy little girl!
- The food - pancakes (obviously!) - 3 different kinds - plain, blueberry, and chocolate chip. Pancakes aren't the same without bacon and sausage. I added a fruit and yogurt parfait bar for something a little healthy. Then topped it off with the cutest little "eggs & bacon" candies that doubled as favors for Addie's little friend. We served coffee, juice, mimosas, water, & chocolate milk. Our donut cake was a hit with guest of all ages!
- The decor & more - I went with a super girly pink and gold. It was so pretty and so perfect! I kept it simple and actually found a lot of stuff in the Target dollar bins (thank you Valentine's day!) I put together some adorable and super yummy favors for Addie's little friends. They said "You're the bacon to my eggs!" Last year, I had all of our friends and family write a little note to Addie in a book for her 1st birthday and I decided the keep the tradition going. This year I bought "If You Give a Pig a Pancake" and it is now filled with love notes from a lot of amazing people in Addie's life. I'm hoping to continue this for the next 18 years and then give them all to her one day.
- The activities - Let's be real, 2 year olds don't really have the attention span for too many activities. I printed a few breakfast themed coloring pages (which I don't even think were used) and other than that just let the little ones have a free for all with Addie's toys. I put together a fun and very, very cheap (I used 3 plastic tablecloths that were $1 each and bought some cute props from Michael's) photo booth for us to use to document all of our friends and family at the party. I think the adults actually had more fun with it than the kids :)
We had so much fun at Addie's party. It was absolutely perfect. The pancakes were a hit and who doesn't love showing up to a party in pajamas! After we ate, we opened up presents. Addie was much more into in this year compared to last year which made it a lot of fun! She was excited about all of her gifts, from the M&M's to the new tricycle that Grandma & Pap got her. She loved the art easel from Eric and I, along with all of the art supplies she got. The Doc McStuffin & Minnie Mouse gifts were favorites, along with the huge stuffed pink unicorn from Uncle Brian and Carla. Addie is a very spoiled girl and we are so thankful for all of the gifts our little girl received at her party. Each and every one of them brought a smile to her face and so much excitement! After gifts, we sang Happy Birthday and then enjoyed some donuts. Addie licked every last bit of chocolate icing off of her donut and ate every last sprinkle. After "cake" it was time for more playing and more fun in the photo booth. Shortly after that Addie's party came to an end. Our friends and family may have left, but the memories we had with them at Addie's very fun and very perfect party will last a lifetime!
