Rowan's 2nd Birthday Party was Sun., Nov. 29th. Because I liked the colors and knew that we would have holiday decorations up, a Winter Wonderland theme seemed like an obvious choice! Everyone seemed to have a great time- but most importantly Rowan had a ball! He loved dancing with his Matchbox Rocky the Robot Truck!
I went with aqua, gray/silver & white for the colors. I decided to make a photo banner of his last 12 months for the mantle. It was a lot of work, but I was so happy with how it turned out that I plan to hang it in his bedroom. I hung silver glitter snowflakes from the ceiling and spread snow on the table, which Rowan just couldn't understand! He pointed to it and told me "snow on the table, that silly mommy!" I purchased a few snowglobes and put some favorite pictures in them. I decided not to do a full spread of food like I did for his last party because I felt like I missed out on a lot due to spending so much time in the kitchen. So instead, we had hot cocoa cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, puppy chow, hot cocoa with marshmallows, and Berry Lemonade Jones Soda. I was very excited that my ornament tree worked with the theme! BTW, I LOVE etsy!!! It was there that I was able to order custom Jones Soda labels, the party invites that I adored, the recipe cards, AND Rowan's shirt. This site was by far my best discovery of the year!
Can a boy ever have too many cars and trucks? Just a few that the birthday boy received.
He is not a fan of hats, but kept this one on just long enough for me to snap a pic.
Post-party we were all loaded with sugar! Here's one of my favorite photos of Rowan with Daddy, just after trying Puppy Chow for the first time!
