kate's tiny two party

when looking for ideas for kate's birthday party, i kept coming across variations of the tiny theme - so we ran with it.
 
here are the party invites that were sent out - they were the size of a business card.  i made them in illustrator, had them printed, then made the envelopes.  we had to hand them out since they weren't "mailable" but that worked out ok. 
 
the beautiful birthday girl
the party guests - yes, we all crammed into our little place
 
the "mini" spread
 

opening presents - this was a concept not lost on kate.  she took no time to get into opening her presents and she wanted to open everything and play before moving onto the next gift.  thank you to everyone - you were all very very generous!  kate definitely got spoiled!
 

and to complete the "daddy tradition" - here she is opening a new pair of shoes.  kate, meet your first pair of jordans.  weston is so proud!
 

happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear kate, happy birthday to you!!!
 

after a few bites of cake she wanted some ice cream.  when she blew out the candles, i asked if she wanted to use her hands or if she wanted a fork - she chose the fork... go figure.  we'll never have a messy cake face with this one!
 

weston kitted her out in her new shoes and wanted to get a picture ... my favorite is the cry face :)
 

happy birthday, little one!!!!  we love you!

Oh my holy crap! Now I have a major complex over every party I've ever thrown my children. Everything is SO cute and SO professional...I love the pictures. You're so lucky to have an in-house photographer.

Yeah, seriously you are the best mom! Okay and you are super talented. I already knew you were creative, but the table and the food, aaaahhh, they were so cute. Of course let's not forget the darling little Kate. Her hair is so pretty and the crying face was so funny and sad all at the same time. You are so great Erin!

Great pictures - sounds like you had a great time! I love the idea of a "tiny two" party. I've seen variations on this theme for birthday parties - it was fun to see what you did. I'm coming out to Monroe next week - staying for about 10 days - think you might be able to get down for a couple of days? I'd love to see you guys!
