Jackson's 2nd birthday party!

We celebrated Jackson's birthday with an Elmo & Sesame Street party at the park!  We had a great day with perfect Fall weather.  Family and some close friends were there to celebrate, including a special visit from Grandma L. and Aunt Sarah from California!  Mommy was especially thankful to have their help for the last-minute party preparations.  This was truly a "homemade" party; from the Elmo pinata head, to the cake & cupcakes, to the party favor bags, this was quite a project.  But, it was worth every minute to watch my 2-year-old have a great time with his family and friends. Enjoy some snapshots of the fun day: preparing to leave for the party setting up decor Elmo head pinata Elmo cake and Sesame Street cupcakes checking out the playground, wearing his special "I Am 2" bday shirt hanging out with Grandpa B. enjoying the day Aunt Carissa, Aunt Sarah, and Grandma L.
