For Taggart's second birthday we had a very small party- mostly family. We're so lucky that Austin's sister and cousin live nearby because their children are very close to Tagg's age and are built in friends.
The party was airplane themed. His invitations were paper airplanes that had a streamer trailing behind with the details of the party. For the party decorations we tied strings onto little airplanes and attached them to the ceiling fan and ran it on low so they flew around the living room. I made airplane wings out of silver spray painted cardboard for the kids to strap on to their arms and run down our cloud (balloon) filled runway (hallway). We had cheesy plane/airport themed signs including but not limited to a "lavatory" sign on the bathroom door, "beverage cart" on a tray of cups, "ticketing and check-in" by the coat and shoe rack, and "baggage claim" over the table where we had the party favors (which were put in white paper "barf bags") for the guests. We didn't have the energy or skill to make a fancy cake but of course it did go along with the theme.
You MUST try Taggart's recipe for an inexpensive homemade facial: you take one handful of cake and another of ice cream, mash them together until they create a grainy mush, then spread it all over your face. Taggart has done it for the past two years and look at his complexion! He even spreads it on his hands too keep them soft and chubby and to make sure those knuckle dimples stay in place. I guess he thought it'd have the same age-defying affect on his clothes, the carpet, walls, and booster seat but it didn't- no youthful glow there. We also recommend NOT applying the cake and ice cream mask to the face of unsuspecting guests as irritation WILL occur.
We have been really bad about taking pictures of the growing belly during this pregnancy but here are a few from after the party. We were a few days shy of 37 weeks.
