Caroline's 2nd Birthday Party

We hosted Caroline's 2nd birthday party on Saturday, and it was so worth all of the work! I think she's finally at the age where she kind-of understands. The cake took me hours to decorate...and worth every minute when she ran in and said, "Oh look! Mickey Mouse!" Tia Lisa made the super cute cupcakes...and was up until 5 AM. And I can't even begin to thank my family for watching Caroline while Gabe and I finished house projects, Gabe's mother for making all of the awesome lasagna, and Gabe's mother and "the Tias" for manning the kitchen during the entire party. It takes a village to raise a child! And this little girl had a blast. :-)

Here are pictures of her on the tricyle we gave her, and the table / cake set up before everyone arrived...
