Libby Lou is 2

It's tradition at our house that the birthday child wakes up to their room decorated. Libbys was a little weak this year since I got rid of all my birthday decorations before the move. But we improvised. Toilet paper is pretty much streamers right!?!

Her present from us.

It was Cow-Chicken (Chick-Fil-A) for dinner.

 We were lucky enough to have my brother and his family come down that weekend from PA and also Jons brother and family came to visit one afternoon. So we were able to have her a little party with family on the weekend.
Movie snacks.
I made these but some how they did not get pictured before we dug in. I stole these of the web and they probably look a tad better than mine did anyway. In the way of the rest of the menu it was all Libby's favorites, pizza, apple sauce, string cheese and apple juice.


The kids got goody bags with goldfish crackers and crayons, but again, they did not get pictured before being ravished.


Can you tell me how to get....

 Libby had a Sesame birthday this year. There is a Sesame Street theme park a couple hours from us so we headed up to celebrate her birthday there. Libby is afraid of giant characters so we opted out of torturing her for her birthday. But she enjoyed them from afar and loved watching them in the shows and parade.
 Elmo does thriller!!
 This little area was made up to look like the Twiddle Bugs area. Those were my absolute favorite when I was little.
 Now is the part where I give my review of the park. I give it a 5 out of 10. Ouch, right. Here is why. It is really over priced, especially for the time of year we went. I would say it is 70% water park. Well we went in the fall when the water park is closed. The rest of the park was about 8 rides crammed into a small area. The fact that the water area was closed made it extremely crowded. I was also sad to see very few characters and the Sesame Street its self is just a tiny short, fake section. However the shows were sun and kept the kids interested. We loved being in a real live Elmo's World. We did get to see it lightly decorated for Halloween.  They had trick or treating through out and a couple of mazes for Halloween set up. The kids thought that was fun and an added bonus. I thought is was nice to have a few extra things since the water part was closed, giving you very little to fill up your entire day. I am glad we went because I have always wanted to since Bennett was little, but will we go again, probably not.
