Addison's 2nd Birthday Party

The theme for Addison's party this year was LSU.  Believe it or not, that really is one of her very favorite things!  She loves her Tigers!!  We spent lots of time preparing for her big day.  Her daddy made her a custom birthday banner:

I made her cake myself!  It was my biggest cake project to date.  (Click on the collage photo boxes to see them bigger - this goes for all of them)

I made the pom balls hanging from the light fixtures, and the LSU helmet you see on the table is a real helmet from a former player.  Thank you Marcus!!

I made the cupcake toppers too :)

Now for fun and games!  We had an inflatable ball pit, plus we played "pin the tail on the tiger" and throw/kick the ball through the uprights that Erik fashioned out of pvc pipe.  The kids all seemed to really enjoy themselves.

Then it was time for presents!  Addison really got into opening her gifts this year.

   

After presents, we went inside for cake and ice cream.  Addison blew out her candle herself!

This is the slideshow that I had playing on the TV inside.  The quality is not as good on the computer - sorry.

After the party we got back in the ball pit and played just the 3 of us.

It was a great day!  Thanks to all who came and helped us celebrate!
