Leila's Second Birthday Party

We opted to have Leila's birthday party a few days early this year to accommodate the Ziebarths who were coming to town for a family wedding.  So, despite the chill in the air, we all headed to our neighborhood park Saturday afternoon for a zoo-themed party!  The wind messed up some of my decorating plans, but it still turned out pretty darn cute, if I do say so myself.
Animal coloring page placemats


Jungle Juice (Sprite, Pina Colada mix, POG concentrate, pebbled ice and raspberries)
Watering Hole-water bottles covered with cheetah duct tape over the label area
Zebra Stripes-Oreo push pops
Birthday girl "banner" with pictures from the last year
The cake-bought the cake but added the hard decorations
Monkey Mix-Banana Chips, Honey Roast Cashews, Chocolate Chips
Lion Kibble-Cheez-It Snack Mix
Cheetah Cheese n' Crackers
Kangaroo Kabobs
I also made little felt animal masks for all of the guests to wear and take home.  Leila's lucky to have so many family members who love her so much.  Guests included my mom, Ashley, Taylor, Jori, Annie, Darlene, Jessica, Jason's parents, and Jason's Aunt Tami.  Thanks to one and all for coming and making it a great day!!









Once she got a hold of this bow, she held onto it tight the rest of the time she was opening presents!

And then she added another bow...
