Teddy Bear Picnic

Celebrating 2 years, the Green way...

The invite.

The decor.

The dress-up element.

The gals.

The story.

The basket lunch: string cheese, teddy bear PB & honey sandwiches, watermelon, juice, and chips.

The goods.

From mom and dad.

The cake, bear-stamped with approval.

The tradition.

Wait. My baby is 2???????

p.s. After singing Happy Birthday (which most of the kids only marginally knew the words to), Avery asked us to sing the temple song. Which we then did. And everyone knew every word.

p.p.s. I can't say for certain how many cupcakes Avery consumed, but if it's any indication--she spent an hour in her bed past normal naptime singing Tiana songs at the top of her lungs and ripping her clothes off while yelling "Nakie!!!". At least one too many.

What an adorable party theme! I love your tree decor and the lunch in a basket. Very cute and doable. Looks like a success!

I love this idea! I may have to steal it next year when Clayton turns two. And, maybe we should all sing the temple song on our birthdays. :)

I love it!!!! You throw such fun parties. You need to design Maran's 2nd bday. We have a theme already. We want to do a ballerina bday since she is turning "two-two." Ok, work your magic...
