Happy Birthday Molly

While the general direction of my blog has changed recently (less of a "Look What We Did Today" and more towards "Life, Opinions and Look What I Ate Today"), I still believe sharing special moments with friends and family is exciting, helpful (mass communication) and relevant. It creates the ultimate journal of sorts, categorizing events in your life with both text and pictures. On my list of things to do is look into a company that will "blog to print" and get all this good stuff into a photo book. I would say blogging is the current, popular form of scrapbooking, which I have done since about the age of 12!!!

So that was my opinion... and here is my fun event to share...

This past Saturday we celebrated Molly's second birthday. Hallie and Chase hosted a Popsicle-themed party complete with a bounce house. Y'all know I love to host a good themed-party. And just as much I love attending one. In general, I love creativity, whether I am doing it or appreciating the work of others. The festivities started with a "Popsicle" invitation and went from there. 

Not one to miss out on any sort if dress-up opportunity, Matt and I made coordinating Happy Birthday T-shirts. (Because don't most people do things like this for a two year olds birthday party?) You might recall the Minnie and Micky T-shirts for Blake's first birthday party! Needless to say they were a hit and if there was an award for "most committed guests to the theme, I am pretty sure we would have won! 

My favorite part was the gift request: an unwrapped toy for Molly to donate to Toys for Tots. I love that Hallie and Chase decided family gifts were enough and that the rest can go to the less fortunate. I love buying gifts for the little ones in our life and I love buying gifts for the less fortunate, so either way it is a win!!!

So in a nutshell, the party was great, the company was great, the wagon of Toys for Tots was full and I captured some great pics for the special family. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday. 

Happy Birthday Molly!!!
