Oh my goodness.
I remember the day Leo was born so vividly and now he is running around like a tiny tornado, demanding me to do things for him in the most adorable little voice.
Time is a thief and I wish I could hold on to this age for so much longer as it is one of my favourites.
For his second birthday this year, I definitely wanted something a bit more relaxed (and I mean for everyone else because it never is for me…hahaha)
He has been in love with Elmo for the majority of the year which I was pleased about because kids change what they like so quickly these days. I wanted it to be outdoors because his birthday is in November which is always usually pretty warm and I wanted a picnic party where everyone could lounge around it and eat together. It turned out to be way hotter than we expected which meant we had to eat fast before the food started to sweat but it was a perfect morning.
All the picnic party items were hired and the drinks table is actually Leo’s old nappy table! The balloon garland I did myself and will put a tutorial up on another post because it was actually way easier than you think but is time consuming.
Cupcake toppers were from Ebay and our cake and cookies were from our favourite cake maker in Melbourne, Tammy’s Cake Creations.
We also hired the bouncy castle, bubble machine and set up a little play area for the kids using some of the boys toys.
We hired an Elmo costume and had a friend dress up in it who did the best impersonations and was a hit with everyone, especially the adults. A much cheaper way of doing it for a bit of fun.
Both the boys outfits were from Big W and my jumpsuit is from Love Storey Boutique.
A beautiful day celebrating a VERY special little boy who has without a doubt brought so much joy in to our lives and an undeniable bond with his older brother. They are just the most beautiful thing to watch together and I thank my lucky stars for them both.
I wish you all the happiness in the world my baby boy.
