Maya's Birthday

Brace yourself for picture overload!!!

Maya's birthday was low key this year compared to her 1st birthday. This time around we figured we would keep the invite list to just our families and make a simple dinner. I couldn't resist surprising Maya with a bunch of balloons and decorations when she woke up that morning though. It was so worth it. She had a blast playing with them all day.  I made a butterfly cake that I found here, along with a few cupcakes. The whole day was pretty low-maintnance which was a good thing since her brother decided to break out in a crazy weird rash that resulted in a trip to the doctor that morning. You can tell that I didn't have much time to get myself looking presentable for the party, but hey, kids don't care about that kind of stuff when they are looking back at pictures. 

Maya is a lucky little girl. She had all kinds of love surrounding her on her birthday. Some people came for dinner. Others sent gifts. A few skyped. She got a bunch of phone calls.  She thrived on all of the attention and I think she really felt loved. So many people went out of their way to make her feel special. Well can you blame them? I mean look at that cute two year old girl. She definitely lights up a room, let me tell ya.
