Nadia's 2nd Birthday Party 

Click on the photo above to see shots from the weekend. I warn you it’s a ridiculous amount, but they are cute!

We had Nadia’s birthday party last Saturday and it was great fun! The theme was music, specifically “Jack’s Big Music Show”. Here’s the cake and FYI – it took 11 cups of cake batter and 10 cups of icing to create. Oh my!!

Papa, Grandma Brooke and Tahni drove up for the event. Brooke took charge of the food situation for which I am grateful because I had to work on the cake. Plus lots of local family came and several of Nadia’s playgroup buddies. We played an episode of Jack’s for them – Nadia’s favorite, “Phil the Coo Coo Bird”. The little ones danced around and had a great time. Then we opened presents. Nadia got a lot of really cool music themed items and cute clothes.

After that we had cake. She seemed confused by all the singing and blowing out the candles, but she liked the cake!

I made Jack’s Big Music show shirts for the kids as party favors along with some noisy items like horns and maraca’s (sorry parents – had to keep with my theme). Here is Nadia modeling the shirt.

It really was a wonderful time and our shy in big groups girl did great because the kids had their own little area to play in and I think she didn’t get so overwhelmed by the people. We loved that she jumped all around to the music and got so excited about the instruments she was given and she just wanted to play with them right away.

    OMG! I love the cake! We are big Jack fans here and love what you did for the party!!! My husband really likes the cake too.

    Too bad you are so far away or I’d hire you to do Maddy’s b-day cake.
