happy birthday Alara

Happy 2nd birthday sweet baby Alara!

This year we kept things simple with just close family and a few friends. I chose to do an afternoon/evening party which gave the birthday girl plenty of time for her nap and post-nap-time recovery before her guests arrived.

*Note*

Having a post-nap-time recovery is important and highly recommended when hosting a party for a 2 year old.

Trust me.

We took advantage the beautiful June weather and late summer hours, giving the kiddos extra time to play. My wonderful husband was in charge of the BBQ, and grilled up his famous burgers and hot dogs for a delicious birthday dinner.

Alara had a great time turning two!

I couldn't have asked for a nicer evening filled with close friends and family.
