Our "tutu" Cute Birthday Party Decorations

A couple of months ago I was browsing online and looking for 2nd birthday ideas and I came across a "tutu" birthday party.  I thought that was the cutest idea and couldn't wait to start planning Georgia Kate's 2nd birthday party.  I always like to start early because I knew my color scheme and picked up so many great decorations along the way.  I also caught a lot of good sales on party supplies!  As you can tell our color scheme was pink and orange and of course everyone had tutus and the boys even had ties!

The front door





I made this ribbon topiary and loved it! I thought it added so much to the table where our sweet friends would sign GK's birthday book. 




Karah made this adorbale banner for Georgia Kate.  She did such a good job and it added so much to the party decorations!





My mother in law made tuts for all the girls and ties for all the boys.  Everyone looked so cute with their party attire on!



My beautiful Mom with the best balloons in the world. If you live in the Orlando area Ballons-N-More is a great resource for party balloons.  I used Patti last year for Georgia Kate's birthday party and couldn't wait to see them again this year.  I LOVE the squiggles!

This is the center pieces for all the tables.  I got the cute party sticks from Sweet Birdies Nest on etsy.  Erin gave me their info and they did a great job designing just what I wanted to GK's party.



Our potted plants even matched the color scheme!



A friend of mine made the cake and it turned out adorable! My cousin painted the picture for Georgia Kate and it was a perfect addition for cake table!

THE FACE

Georgia Kate started making this face out of the blue one day.  We aren't sure where she learned this face, but we thought it was pretty darn cute. Now if we ask her to make "the face" she will do it on command.  Pretty cute!



Bath Time Fun Time

Georgia Kate and Cooper had their first of I am sure many baths together! They had so much fun...oneday they will hate these pictures I am sure.



Could you be any cuter! 

23 Months Old

Georiga Kate...you are the light in our life. We are so in love with you and love to see how you change each day. You are getting so big and you LOVE to do everything on your own. You always tell us "me do it". 

 You also can repeat almost anything we say. I thought you would never talk and you are now busy talking all the time. We have had so much fun with you and look forward to all the fun times ahead!

Always remember that Mommy and Daddy love.  You also have so many other people that love you too, but most of all Jesus loves you. 

Georgia Kate loves her Daddy so much. I am so glad that we have such a wonderful man that loves Jesus and loves us! He is a great Daddy and we are proud of him!

Strawberry Pickin and a little catching up!

Strawberry Pickin!





Georgia Kate had the best time and I can't wait to take her back. If you live in the Orlando area this is a great "cheap" family fun day! We went one Saturday morning and had the best time with Georgia Kate.  She loves strawberries so she would just eat them off the vine!

Georgia Kate's First Birthday Party

I have never linked up to Kelly's SUYL Friday series, but I love to plan a party  so I thought I would particpate this weekend!

I had so much planning Georgia Kate's first birthday and I am in the process of planning her second birthday. We did a pink and green cupcake theme for #1 and we are planning a pink and orange "tutu" theme for #2.  I can't wait to share all the pictures from that one, but for now here are the pics from our first birthday party.

We had the party at my inlaws house.  It was a beautiful day outside and it was nice to hang out around the pool and celebrate our precious little angel.

This is a look at the backyard where we had tables set up for eating and toys for the kids to play with

These cups and then the napkins were two of my favorite things that I did for GK's birthday party.

I have to admit that we did have the Margarita Machine at our child's first birthday! 

We gave polka dot syrofoam cups for party favors! The kids got playdough and a cupcake cookie cutter. I don't have a picture of those.  The reason we did the cups is because not a lot of my friends have children and we thought it would be nice to have something for the grownups!

This is the table that we had set up with the cake on it! I loved everything about this table!!!!

The Cake!

My cousin painted this picture for her party! It was perfect for the special occasion.

This is the banner that I made that hung on the wall above one of the food tables. 

I did pictures of GK from 1 month to 12 months. I love the little cans that I put them in.  I found these in the dollar section at Target! They were perfect for the event.

YUMMY YUMMY cookies from my favorite cookie place in Orlando...Cookie Cousins!

These were the centerpiecs that I made for all the tables in the backyard.  I got the balloons from Balloons-N-More in Orlando.  They were so cute!

AND

of course!!!!!!! The most precious birthday girl in her cute little cupcake bubble!



Christmas Morning...Finally!

Putting Cookies out for Santa.  We decided that Santa would be tired of milk by the time he got to our house so we left DDP out for him.  I am sure that he appreciate that so much!

 Helping Gogo make reindeer food to put out so that Santa could find our house!

 Helping Uncle Ross make reindeer food.  She wanted him to help her and go outside to put the food out!

Georgia Kate needed a bite before she headed out to put the reindeer food out!

 Uncle Ross and Georgia Kate...isn't it great how a kid can make Christmas time so much fun?  i am not sure Uncle Ross would put on a Santa hat for too many people.

 Gogo and Georgia Kate

Mommy, Daddy, and Georgia Kate

 D-dan and Georgia Kate putting out reindeer food.  We had so much fun with our little one this year. 





Santa came to our house!!!!

Georgia Kate was so excited! She knew something was different.  She had the best time coming into the den and seeing what Santa had brought her. 

She loved her kitchen! She played and played and played some more!

Gogo got her a Bitty Baby from American Girl.  She loved it and still loves it.  Her and Gogo named her Holly and Georgia Kate walks around the house saying "Hottie".  We have an Aunt Holly that will be glad to know that she can say her name!

Playing with her cousin Campbell.  They had matching outfits and they were so cute in them.  Campbell is about 6 months older than GK. She is helping her open some of her presents.
