Hadley's 2nd Birthday Party

For Hadley's second birthday party I wanted to do something that I knew she would love. Her favorite thing to do is dance, and so we had a "Dancing and Donuts" party.


It was a blast putting this party together and Hadley had the time of her life. 

The table and beautiful flowers from my mom. They were even more gorgeous in person. 

You can't have a dancing and donuts party without a table full of donuts! Hadley even had a special birthday donut. 

The living room was converted into "Hadley's Dance Studio" 

There were pictures of Hadley in the kitchen

Hadley had an adorable birthday party outfit

Hadley's guests arrived and played outside and ate breakfast. 

Hadley loved the donuts...


Hadley's new chalkboard was a big hit...


And then the best part! We had a dance teacher come and teach the kids a few dances, read them a story and sing songs. It was amazing and the kids could not have looks cuter. I have about 100 pictures, and I tried narrowing it down the best I could!!


It was mass chaos and it was perfect!!



After all her friends left. Hadley did not want to leave her dance studio and kept dancing in front of the mirror and waiting for friends to come back!!
                                                   

Thank you to all of our family and friends that came to celebrate Hadley's birthday. We are so blessed to have each of you in Hadley's life!

After a long afternoon nap and a quick clean up, we had party #2! 


Both of our families came over for dinner and birthday cake. Hadley was so excited to get to keep partying and was especially excited for her cousins to come back! She squealed when Abbey, Zoey, Tanner and Tyler came over and then again when Emily walked in the door! (Wish the Ross cousins could have been here too!!) We visited, open more gifts and ended the night with a Nothing Bundt Cake from Mimi! 



She didn't quite understand what to do, so she dove in head first!

During dinner, Abbey and Zoey took the best care of Hadley and Emily. They are the best cousins and I think Emily thinks they are "hers" too! Throughout the whole party Abbey and Zoey were so sweet to  all of Hadley's friends and were so helpful. Some of the moms thought I hired babysitters! Hadley adores them. ( I do too!)



Abbey and Zoey doing the dances from the morning with the girls./ After dinner Hads and Em went a little crazy and were running around the family room and being so silly and sweet. They have matching bunny slippers and they thought they were sooo fancy.

I'm not sure this will ever get old...


Happy birthday Hadley!!!! We had the best day celebrating YOU! Thanks to both of our families who made this day so, so special.
