Stanton is ONEderful

This little cutie turned one!! Stanton's birthday fell during our stay-at-home order so I adjusted my typical over-the-top party planning to something much simpler which ended up being so fun all day long!


We had lots of wardrobe changes throughout the day!



She was very happy during her birthday lunch because she had cheese-her favorite food!


She had a few presents to open so I was spreading them out throughout the day. After lunch it was time to open up her next gift when I looked at the front porch and noticed that Christmas had arrived! She had so many new presents come on her birthday!


She had a great time with them!



And so did Ramsey! :) 



This was a great day for Ramsey!


I put a banner on our garage and invited friends to stop by and sign her banner at any point throughout the day. We also provided chalk so the kids could draw pictures on the driveway.


It was such a fun way to have friends help us celebrate. We partied all day!


Some of our friends are really good artists!



I invited our neighbors to the driveway to help us celebrate that evening.






Ramsey was really excited to see some friends :)



We had Jenny hold our phones so our family members could watch the party, too.


We brought out her smash cake and everyone sang Happy Birthday to Stanton.


She was ready to get into her smash cake!


Go time!


Ramsey did such a great job helping her celebrate!


Some of our socially distant party guests.




I made a few cupcakes for the kids, too!






She was still going at it!





She LOVED it!


Thank you all for helping us celebrate near or far!


If you missed Ramsey's birthday party recap (nearly eight months late) check it out HERE.

Ramsey is Two Sweet

It only took me 7 1/2 months to get the pictures uploaded from our camera to my computer!! Woo hoo! I'm a terrible blogger. Every time I think I should do this full-time, something happens and eight months go by without a post! Whoops! We just celebrated Stanton's first birthday, so I thought it was time to post pictures from her birthday and Ramsey's birthday from September. First will comes Ramsey's and then you can see Stanton's ONEderful birthday party HERE.

Ramsey woke up ready to bake in her new baker's hat and apron!


Stanton was ready to celebrate Ramsey being TWO SWEET!


I decided to host her party at a park because we were hosting a business party that same night. I didn't want to deal with cleaning my house twice on top of throwing two parties, and it worked out very well.



My parents were able to come down and celebrate. It was very nice to have a couple extra sets of hands!


We served brunch: granola, fruit, yogurt, cereal, and lots and lots of donuts. Also juice boxes, but I think Ramsey may have been the only one to drink them. People kept opening them for her, she went through seven or eight of them!



I also created a sweets table with lots of dessert options!



I think this was the first time Ramsey had Lucky Charms. She dug right in! 


We were all ready for our guests to arrive!



The birthday girl heading over to greet her guests! 



We were so thankful to have so many friends come to her party!







Getting ready to blow out her candle!


We had lots of friends come to party with us. They played in the splashpad, on the playground, and in the sand. I also brought donut sticker activity sheets for all the kids.  


Present time!




She got lots of great new toys! 


Then she went back to playing for a little while. 




Three generations of girl fun! I made Ramsey and Stanton's shirts with my cricut and some appliques I found on major sale!


We had a great time celebrating our TWO SWEET, Ramsey, and I think she enjoyed all the sugar and playing with her friends. :)
