Lucy's big Premiere!

Today was Lucy's 2nd Birthday Party. Since she is such a movie buff we had a Movie Premiere theme! It turned out to be a lot of fun! When everyone came in they got to get their "Swag" and then the parents got their VIP pass to escort their "star." They walked down the red carpet and onto the Walk of Fame and found their name! Here are some of the stars that came to Lucy's party.We had fun visiting and playing a few games. One of them was pass the trophy. If the music stopped while you were holding the trophy then you got a prize (so everyone got a prize!). Here's Lucy excited about getting the trophy=sucker!

You know the song, "It's my Party and I'll cry if I want to?" Well Lucy has NEVER heard of it! She was having a blast! I made a CD of different movie songs and had it playing in the background and she was having so much fun dancing around while everyone was still sitting in the circle from the games...she was totally showing off! Funny girl! Here she is in action! Lucy's was most excited about Bekah (our babysitter) coming! When Bekah got here Lucy just squealed and followed her around saying her name and announcing to Daddy and everyone that Bekah was here! Too cute! After games we had popcorn and watched a "movie." I got that Disney/Pixar Short CD with all their different shorts on there for Lucy. So we watched one of them which is like 5 minutes long - it was perfect!

Then we had nachos for Lunch (Lucy's favorite). Look at that smile! Cheesin' it!

Then we did the pinata. It was so funny because it took SO long for the kids to get all the candy! It was really cute!

But then there was Sadie...the only big girl!
Since I totally spaced getting Lucy a cake, we had a giant snickers ice cream bar for her cake. We figured it matched the Movie theme. She blew the candles out all by herself! We were so proud! Look at those cheeks!

We had such a fun day! After the party was over and I was cleaning and Chris resting (he has been sick and he was SUCH a help during the party), the girls were out back and it was so quiet so I went to check on them. They weren't on the swing set, not on the trampoline so I started to walk down the steps of the deck and there they were sitting on the bottom step just having a little snack! They looked so sweet so I quietly ran and got my camera and what do you know, I made it back in time and quiet enough that they didn't hear me and I got the shot! Woohoo!

You know, I thought Sadie might have a hard time with all the attention focused on Lucy but she did really well. She was really excited about the whole party thing! Although she did have a hard time not opening Lucy's presents, but hey, what kid doesn't!?! We are just all so thankful that Lucy is in our family! I could not imagine life without her sweet little face! She is SUCH a joy and is so happy and loving! It's funny to look back and remember the night before I had Lucy. I was so worried about being able to love BOTH girls adequately and couldn't imagine loving someone else as much as we did Sadie. But now I could not imagine not being together! It is so special to see that we each bring something to the family! I am just so thankful for what Lucy brings...Joy and Love! We love you Lucy Jean!
