We celebrated Ellie's 2nd birthday with friends and family at our neighborhood park. About three months ago I asked Ellie what theme she wanted for her birthday. She responded with, "SHOES!!" So, I made it my mission to have a shoe themed par-tay!
Ellie LOVES shoes so this was ALOT of fun to put together! Most of my party planning happened online. Here's a little recap on the party planning...then I posted some of the most adorable pictures of Ellie's friends and family. Thanks to Jennifer Luedke for taking such incredible shots!
I was so excited to find shoe pinatas! They were only $8.00 on http://www.partywedding.com/! The polka dot balloons are from there too.
Virginia did an INCREDIBLE job on Ellie's cake. Not only was it adorable, but it was delicious too! Virgina did our wedding cakes (which included a full mouth for Brett's grooms cake!). She can do ANYTHING so check her out if you need a cake! (her baby shower cakes are creative and her Mounds Cake is to die for!) http://www.virginiascakes.com/
I found this site http://www.bakeat350.blogspot.com/ and was so happy that Bridget could make some custom shoe shaped cookies! They were oh so cute and yummy too. Check her out, she has a true talent.
Party Favors! I got the girls plastic princess shoes and feather boas (from The Dollar Store! My fave place for toys). The boys got some plastic cars and motorcycles. I loved the girl party favor bags because they say, "I LOVE SHOES!" These couldn't have been more perfect! I found them at Michael's!
Brett & I figured the kids would LOVE to be outside and bounce, so we completed the party planning with a Princess bouncy house for my little high-heeled princess!
Let the Party Begin!
Ryanne looks like a GAP model and Morgan steals my heart with her pig tails and grin!
Buddies!
Ellie's is like her mama and devoured the cake!
Bounce House Fun!
