Celebrating 2

Our littlest guy turned 2, much to my dismay. But we did celebrate with a few dear ones from near and far and with some of Nanuk's favorite things: the animals of our local wilderness, lots of balloons, and lots of cake.


animal invites for my animal loving babe, with a balloon attached. A special birthday wreath for every special occasion, plus a borrowed bunting. Plenty of balloons tethered in corners. Animal coloring pages and quick-to-make raccoon tails for entertaining the kiddos. (I have to say these were a hit, even with the dads!) A light homemade dinner, and an old fashioned cake with animals (for keeping) on top. And as a "thanks for loving our little one" favor: trail mix in coordinating bags. Nothing fancy or elaborate or costly or at all chic. But it worked just right for us, and for our not-at-all-terrible 2 year old.
