My little Jonah has turned 2! We celebrated by throwing a bug birthday party. When springtime made it's appearance earlier this year, I noticed Jonah loved watching the ants and other creep crawly things scurry across the ground outside, and it got me thinking he would love a bug themed birthday! Here is how it turned out:
 |
| The dessert table |
 |
| Cupcakes popping out of little terracotta pots painted in the party colors with craft paint |
 |
| Dirt Cake made with rice krispies treats formed into a mound, frosted with chocolate frosting and covered in Oreo crumbs |
Then the kids went on a bug hunt for plastic bugs hid around the yard. They were each equipped with a bug kit for the task:
Next came presents and cake:
We ended the night with a release of about 500 ladybugs! They crawled all over us and most of us absolutely loved it (with the exception of Jonah who liked to look more than touch!)
And of course, every party needs a hiccup right? Well after all the guest left, my kids found the bubble machine I had bought for the party. I totally forgot about it. Dang! It was SO fun, too bad we couldn't have shared it with the other kids!

| Umm, Annalise- I think that's for snowflakes, not bubbles! |
Happy Birthday Jonah! We love you!
