B-day #2 – star brownie in the dark, originally uploaded by zannestar.

We celebrated a 2nd birthday earlier this month. I baked her a STAR brownie. (I actually let her lick the spoon! WHAT A TREAT! I’ve never seen eyes like that!). I had a few sparklers and used one for the center. She was pretty amazed.

B-day #2 - star brownie

B-day #2 - balloons!
For her party, we ordered balloons, when they came in the house, she stood in amazement. I was hoping that each child could take one home, but by the end of the party, they were tied in a knot and the kids were taking turns running through the house with them. Izzy’s hair is so fine, that the static LOVED her. too cute!

B-day #2 - cupcake tower
The cupcakes were on a tower and loaded with sparklers. It certainly held everyone’s attention!

B-day #2 - party's over!
The party ended as quickly as it had started. We had a great time. I found cupcake wrappers in her bed!

oh and I almost forgot…

I received this wonderful package almost 2 weeks ago from Sandy. It’s a good thing I took a picture. Iz has gone through most of it and she loves it as much as I do! Thanks!

Because I have sooooo much time on my hands, I created some LuckyStitches goodies on cafepress.com.   It was actually on my to-do list.  I need a uniform for the lounge, so I thought I’d start with this.  I ordered a few, thinking I’d pull a Karl Lagerfeld and stick to a uniform that consists of the same things.  Makes it easy, I’ll just have to stay on top of the laundry.
