Last weekend we celebrated Annie's second birthday with a little Saturday morning brunch .
It was such a fun day & was made so special by the family & friends who were able to be there , though there were definitely many who were missed !
This party was basically one giant DIY project & I had such fun putting it together !
Check it out !

I made this wreath out of coffee filters! I followed this tutorial from the blog Lolly Jane.
The burlap and doily bunting was another DIY courtesy of Lolly Jane, here.
These flowers were also made from coffee filters. I sort of modified this tutorial, here . Obviously I did not dye mine - I used regular coffee filters for the white & organic coffee filters for the brown.
As favors, we gave out these recipe cards that I designed with an attached cookie cutter so you can cut your French toast into fun shapes!
And here are some pics of the B-Day Girl!
Here are some fun facts from Miss Annie now that she's TWO :
My nicknames are : Annie-Bananie, Annie B, & Ann-Bannan .
My favorite foods are : turkey, pickles, cheese, tomatoes, berries, grapes, juice, yogurt, "mac-y" & "chicken nugs". I also like fruit snacks, chocolate chip Fiber One Bars,
M&Ms, & suckers as special treats .
My favorite shows are : Barney, Little Einsteins, Calliou, Super Why, Doodlebops, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Scout & Friends, & The "Neigh Neigh" Videos .
My favorite songs to sing & dance to are : Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, If You're Happy & You Know It, Hokey Pokey, Wheels on the Bus, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Popcorn Popping , Do As I'm Doing, Teddy Bear Teddy Bear, You Are My Sunshine, The Lion Sleeps Tonight, ABCs, Raindrops, & Five Little Monkeys .
My favorite books are : Twinkle Twinkle Little Star & Other Nursery Rhymes , Clifford Books, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, Goodnight Moon, Bunny's Noisy Book, The Potty Book, Petunia, & The Annie Book .
I've learned so much : I know all the letters of the alphabet & some of their sounds , I can count to 15, I know my colors, animals & their sounds , & I love to read books to myself . I can also put on my own shoes & buckle my car seat .
I can spell my first name & I know that my full name is
Annie Lynn Romney.
I love : trains, driving, painting, coloring, reading, chalk, cooking in my kitchen, swimming, dollies & babies, animals - especially bunnies & doggies, bath time, dancing, holding hands, my grandparents & aunts & uncles & cousins - immediate & beyond , going to the park - the slides & swings are my favorite, kissing owies, playing on the dinosaurs with "KK", pillows & blankies, & bubbles .
I am a little addicted to the iPad.
I call it the "IP".
I still suck my thumb .
Everyone says I look just like my daddy, but I look just like my mommy's baby pictures too .
I am an observer, memorizer, thinker, & solver.
I am very sensitive & tentative.
I love to tell stories & I think I'm very silly .
That all seems like so much and yet I know there is more!
We love you our little Annie Lynn - everything that you are
and everything that you will be .

Amazing! I love all your decorations, so cute! I can cook all the food for my kids birthday parties, but I suck at the decorating part. I like the idea of giving out a recipe and cookie cutter for part favors.

It's perfection, Erika! And what a sweet, smart, darling girl Annie is! So big!

As you can tell I am the world's worst at updating my blog - I'm currently planning Annie's 3rd birthday and am hoping to use that as a jump start to blogging more frequently!
