{BIRTHDAY} Campbell and Houston turn 2

My niece Campbell and her cousin Houston turn 2 just a few days apart so this year they combined a birthday party. The party was on St. Patricks Day which made a rainbow / shamrock theme easy! The mothers of these two did most of the work, I just assisted and flipped some pancakes. They are masters at parties. They served brunch, a selection of chocolate chip pancakes and green whipped cream, cereal with green milk, zucchini whole wheat donuts, and fruit skewers.
It was a cold and rainy Saturday in Orange County which killed the plans of having this party outdoors but everything still worked out. After eating brunch the kids had fun water coloring their name (idea from Dandee), stringing dyed noodles, tossing gold bean bags into a cauldron, and playing with balls and bikes in the garage.
(i think my favorite picture is of the dads chillin hard in the living room!)

  4. Love the party and the pics. Made me feel like I was there! Everything looks simple, fun, and stress free--so you and the moms must be magicians!

  5. Just took off my top hat, or whatever magicians wear. Actually it wasn't magic just making a nice collaborative effort. I'm converted, simple is better! I love the details but less is more at these things. Teen you're Queen! You know how to step in and get a job done. xoxo
