Ava's Jungle Adventure

Well, Little Miss A's bday party turned out so cute and so fun! The guests included friends and family with their kids. It was just the right size for a 2 year old.


This is what the kids did when they first arrived they decorated jars with felt made to look like these animals. Everyone was so creative and they all turned out so cute. Then the kids got to fill the jars with candy or trailmix from the party to take home.

Then after they were done making those. I gave each kid a passport (made by me of course) and around the room were pictures of jungle animals hidden behind things on the walls etc. and each time a kid found one of them they got a sticker to put in their passport. By the end of the game all the kids had lots to show from their "jungle safari"! It was really fun and the kids all seemed to get really into it.

Along with each kid's passport they got their "goody bag" that included binoculars, compass, dora or deigo stickers and a stuffed animal of their choice. All of which would help them on their safari. The goody bags where a huge hit. I really wanted to give the kids something fun to take away from the party and not just junk and candy. If I'm gonna spend the money they should like it right? Yep.

Next up the food table. We had healthy treats and the cake was made by my amazing mom! It was really yummy too!

We decorating our houes with lots of animal print balloons, vines, and lots of plants and trees. Those were mainly in the entryway. I wanted it to feel as though people were entering into a jungle but didn't want it suffocating once they were in here thus less plants in the main part.

Ava really did great the whole party. I think it was easier on her since it was at our house this year so she felt at home and happier. Plus she's older now, 2 to be exact. haha

Just as we were getting ready to open gifts. She ran over to her chair and started throwing a bit of a diva fit.

Then it goes to the floor....

And the next second she is totally over it and happy as can be! She is such a little drama queen and loves attention. But she is moreover a happy little girl. So her fits never last long at all. We have been lucky the terrible 2's haven't seemed too bad yet.

I loved her little outfit :) She has the same skirt in red since I loved this one so much. Ahh.. little girls are heaven!

Opening gifts were such a fun part this year. She was really into it and would say, "Oh WOW!" During it and once she saw the gift. It was I'm sure quite entertaining and absolutely adorable!

Me and my 2 BFF's. We have been close since high school. We all have kids, husbands and morgages and we would do anything for eachother!

All in all I am happy with her party this year. I can't believe she is already 2! My oh my where has the time gone. I love that little girl to the moon and back 70 times 7. She is my everything. Russell and I love being parents and are so lucky to have her in our lives. I love you Little Miss Ava!
