Flag Party

We decided that because George loves flags so much, we had to decorate the whole house with flags and invite all his friends over.  We sent an invitation out to his 2 year old buddies and made the house look like Independence Day!!

Little George is turning 2!

Cake for him, for me, for you!

Come celebrate with us to see

what kind of 2 year old he'll be.

Nice or mean, we never know.

This toddler puts on quite a show.

But if a flag by chance you bring

our patriotic boy will gleam!

From ear to ear, you'll see him smile

on Friday night, please stay a while.

We'll party on from 6-8

and then to bed a little late.

Where dreams of stars and stripes will fly.

Farewell, goodnight, peace out, goodbye!

 

We decorated the night before his birthday.  His face was absolutely priceless when he woke up the next morning. There were "fags" everywhere!!

 

 

No corner was left unadorned.

I got a HUGE cake from Costco and was thrilled that they would put an American flag on there even though the 4th of July is 6 months away.

Buying all these flags got me a little excited for July. 

 

I found the perfect outfit for George.  He looked like a flag!!

Our guests arrived and we ate some delicious pizza.

I had to get all these little nuggets on the couch together.  Such cute babies!!

 

George got a big kick out of hitting Julie on the head with his flag.  He was laughing so hard and Julie was such a good sport.  He was a great deal happier this birthday than his first birthday.  It could have been that he was completely inundated with his favorite people, food, and flags!!

 

Big cake, little boy.

 

I love those bright, excited little eyes!!

 

I love these three kiddos so much and each of their funny facial expressions.

George spent a l-o-n-g time just staring at the flames with out a clue that he was supposed to blow them out.  After we showed him what to do he tried to blow them out but Sadie and Jack had to help a little.

 

He is such a dainty little eater and he LOVED his cake!

Then we turned on George's favorite music so he could "shake his sillies out" and we all had a dance party.  It was awesome!! George had a smile on his face the whole night!!

2 year olds get tired after 8, so it was time to say goodnight to our guests.

I hope I never forget how cute George sounds when he says "see ya" or "bye bye" with his tiny little wave and his big grin.  He either belts it or whispers it, depending on his mood.  Either way, it's an adorable little sound.

 

George got so many fun gifts from his friends.  The invite said they could "bring a flag" so we were totally overwhelmed that they would all bring such sweet gifts.  It was Christmas all over again for Georgie Porge!!

 

The flags were soon second fiddle after he opened a toy garbage truck from his friend Scout.  He's been playing with it ever since. 

Happy Birthday George! 

We love how passionate he is about what he loves, even at this young age.  Never in my life did I think I would ever throw a "flag party" for one of my children.  We all get a kick out of this little man. You're a joy and we love you so much!!
