Makena turned two at the end of May. I tried to throw a small simple party, but it sure didn't feel small or simple with 11 kids and 12 adults in our house. The weather cooperated so at least it wasn't pouring down rain. It would have been nice for a bit more sun, better luck next year.
Curious George was the mascot for the day. And though Makena loves him, she wasn't so much into this party thing. She gets easily overwhelmed by a lot going on around her...and that is exactly what happened. Everyone else seemed to have a great time, but Makena not so much. Just like the weather, better luck next year.

Michael and I spent most of the time holding Makena and trying to make her happy. She didn't eat, even her favorite foods. She was upset at the birthday candles and wouldn't touch the cupcake afterward. And I have to say, she missed out as the cupcakes were delicious from Cupcake Royale. In the end, she celebrated with gummi worms while the rest of us happily ate cupcakes without complaint.
Apologies for the blurry pictures. It was a bit of a rough party to get any good pictures at.
Next morning we opened presents, and this part she enjoyed thoroughly! Maddy happily assisted and instructed her on exactly what to do and how to do it. We had a small family party later on Sunday and this was way more Makena's speed!
