Oh Mei Mei,
Grammy is so sorry I could not be there for your birthday celebration. I was so sick and did not want to bring my germs to you or your family and party guest. I will see you soon when all my germs are gone! Love you to moon and back. It looks like you had a beautiful party, mommy did a wonderful job decorating. Love always,
Grammy!
Wow, you did a great job! What a lot of work, but it is gorgeous! I hope she enjoyed it all... gives me some great ideas!
Wow! That was the most adorable ladybug party I've ever seen. You did a lovely job with all the decorations. You've inspired me for my next birthday party. I'm a fellow AWAA blogger and have enjoying your blog for some time. Thanks for posting! Check out my blog at www.gammariellofamily.blogdspot.com
Finally saw the pics! TOO CUTE!! You are the ONLY person I know that would make ladybugs out of strawberries. My parties are so lame.......SO lame.
holy cow woman!! can you come plan my parties? wow! it looks amazing! of course you would only have a $20 budget to work with here:) lol lol
Its all so beautiful! Job well done, Mommy!
I love to plan parties too! I just helped my daughter with a farm theme for her 4 year old triplets. You should go into business!
This is the cutest!
I am SOOOOO impressed! I especially love the ladybug strawberries. I'm glad you had such a great celebration on such a special day. Happy Birthday Mei Mei!
I do have a question - what was the "Happy 2nd Birthday" sign made of? Is it ceramic? Or did you just cut it from some kind of paper? Love it all!
