Christina's 2nd Birthday Party

Today was Christina's Gymnastics & Minion-themed Birthday Party! She absolutely loves Minions and the Despicable Me movies. She had a fun time but her teeth and mouth were still hurting her so she had her fussy moments off and on throughout the day. But, I still managed to get some good photos from the party and the festiviites. 

This invite turned out really cute!

In the morning, before her party, we had her open gifts from family. Her sisters got her a ballerina dress up outfit. She loves to go to the dance studio and watch the her big sisters as well as practice dancing with them at home. Nonna  & G-Pa got her clothes, shoes, rain boots and swim suits for the spring and summer. We bought her a gymnastics outfit for her party and a minion t-shirt. (She opted her to wear the shirt to her party and it was super cute.) We also got her Minion panties (we get all the girls panties for their second birthdays as we encourage potty training in their third year), a Curious George book and a Crayola craft set.

Party Time! 

I had two of her favorite things combined - donuts and Minions! :)

The gym is big and full of fun things to do!

The trampoline had "Happy 2nd Birthday!" written on it with chalk.

Hearing the instructions before the fun began. Gabby's face expresses her surprise when she found out the party attendant had the same name as me. Ha!

Gabby flying into the foam pit! 

Way to go, Adriana!

In the foam pit with David. Christina really loves being with her Daddy. They have a very special bond.

Running in the hoops. Go, Christina, go!

Lunch time! 

Time to sing "Happy Birthday." She got a little upset at this part so big sister Gabby helped her get through it and blow out the candles. The lyrics "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to" were pretty fitting at that moment. :)

Our family after the party.

So glad Nonna could be here for the celebrations. It made the week so much more fun!

After dinner, we sang "Happy Birthday" with our homemade chocolate cake with pudding filling (Daddy's special touch.)

Yum! 

In the evening we also opened up gifts from her party. 

It was a fun and busy birthday party day! Christina had good time despite not feeling all that well. We feel so blessed to have such a polite and fun-loving 2-year old! Happy Birthday, Christina Mary!
