D-D-D-D-D-Dora

This past weekend we were in Cinci celebrating my super cute niece's 2nd birthday! We started her birthday by singing to her at breakfast. I think she was thinking that it was too early in the morning :)

AP and the birthday girl were all ready for the party.
She was telling me how old she was :)


Her party was all about Dora, or Dora Explora as she called her. This was her Dora cupcake cake.

C ready in his Dora party hat. What a good sport!

This lady was "Dora's special friend". She came to the party and played Dora games, applied Dora tattoos, made animal balloons, and played Dora music. AP kept her busy with the tattoos. I think she ended up with 4.

Then it was time for DORA! She came and danced with the kiddos.

C had enough of Dora and went to roast marshmallows with Daddy :)

Mmmmm. Smores.

The birthday girl was afraid of Dora. The only way to get a picture of her with Dora was for Dora to sneak up behind her! S had no idea that Dora was standing there.

C loves a good balloon hat.

My sister's b-day is Wednesday so she got a few presents, too. I painted the center of this platter with chalkboard paint. I thought it would be cute on a plate stand on her kitchen counter. I'm thinking about making one for myself, too ;)

There were a sea of presents. S got some new makeup and was trying it out on Hubs.

Happy 2nd B-day, S! We love you!
