C is for Cookie

 

Today was the highly anticipated day around our house...Miller's 2nd Birthday Party. We went a little crazy with our Cookie Monster theme, but you can see from the pictures that Miller appreciated his Sesame Street friends joining him on the big 2 birthday. Of course, we had to dress Cookie appropriately for the party.

 

 

After Publix rejected making a Cookie Monster cake, we got the cake from the Cake Shoppe in Roswell. And, I'm so glad I did! Cookie turned out blue and fuzzy with no googling eyes, just like I requested. Miller kept repeating "don't touch" while we were getting the napkins and plates ready. We learned our lesson earlier this week and sang the birthday anthem sans candles and hot fire. He enjoyed it just the same and we pretended to blow out nothing! Everyone's teeth, lips and tongue turned out electric blue just like the fuzzy frosting.
After a BBQ lunch and cake, it was present time! Miller really took his time opening gifts. He enjoyed all the wrappings, cards and ribbons first. His oohs and ahhs & giggles of delight were just so precious and enough to make you want to throw a party every weekend. Miller was surprised to open a bubble machine that boasts 10,000 bubbles in a few minutes, a bubble lawn mower, DVD car player with DVD's, beach toys and a new tricycle to name a few.
We're so thankful for sharing in Miller's big 2 with family. What a special time celebrating our little guy. Now we'll just have to hope for the rain to move out to enjoy our new fun toys outside.
