We celebrated Kennedy's second birthday with a ladybug party on Sunday. It was such a fun theme to work with and I loved putting it all together. I was running a bit behind schedule, but thankfully my mom and mother-in-law willingly helped and I had all the food on the table before all the guests had arrived. Kennedy seemed to enjoy the attention and celebration more this year and everyone (I think) had a good time.
Pictures are a little out of order, but there are so many that it was harder than usual. My apologies.
The favor table. I set up this "sweets" table in the entry way and loaded up little bags for each of the kids as they left. I know candy isn't always the preferred gift to give a little one, but I figured parents could snack a little too.
Little Lady appetizers - I skipped the chive antennae, but I figured ladybugs don't even have antennae and I was running late!
chocolate lollipop topiary
Darling sugar cookies that I found on Etsy. They looked a little better than they tasted, but it was all about the theme and I figured I could certainly not do any better myself!
What a cake!
Yummy mini-Italian club sandwiches. Thank you Ali and Giada! They were a snap to make and tasted so good. Here's the recipe if you're interested: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/mini-italian-club-sandwiches-recipe/index.html
Kennedy and her Papa
Sometimes I can't get enough of that face.
She's definitely a daddy's girl. Looks a bit like him, too, don't you think?
Cake time
Trying desperately to get some good pictures with family - we were so thankful Nana was still here for Kennedy's party.

Her favorite toy of the day - a Little People Fairy Tree house
Enjoying their ladybug lollipops post party. I shutter to think about how much sugar they consumed this week, yikes!
Enjoying her new camping chair from Aunt Peg.
Now that's fashion. After a fun party and a good nap, Kennedy was ready to play! The weather was beautiful and sunny and we couldn't have asked for a better day. We love you, Kennedy, all the sweet and sass and spunk.
