Party guests were Nana, Pawpaw, Aunt Tina, the Franklin family, and Lisa. We decorated with red and white crepe paper, bandana printed tablecloths and paper plates, dasies, and various decorative farm animals that I have around my house.
We had a lunch of cowboy chili, corn muffins, pigs in a blanket, chicken little eggs (deviled eggs), chicken feed (trail mix), lemonade, cow tales, milk duds, veggies from "Brynley's Garden Patch", haystack cookies, and cookies in the shape of a "2". After lunch, Bryn couldn't wait a second longer to get to the gifts. In typical two-year old fashion, she would open a gift, check it out for 20 seconds and then cast it aside for the next unopened package!
Next was the cake...a barnyard theme marble cake. I also got a small cake for party guest Lisa and she got serenaded with "Happy Birthday" a few minutes after Brynley (2/12 is Lisa's bday!). Last year during the singing, B just sat and stared, but this year she smiled from ear to ear.
My sweetheart had so much fun on her birthday!! The only thing I could wish for is that she stop growing up so fast! Here are some pics from the party:

After the party guests left, Brynley went to bed very, very early and slept through the night. I guess the combo of a skipped nap and a birthday party did her in!
Happy birthday, Brynley, my precious little lady!
