Fun and fabulous at 2-years-old – Melrose, MA

Ever host a birthday party for your little one and feel like you’re scrambling around to mingle with your guests, manage the food, keep your little one(s) happy, and oh, snap some pics so you and your birthday girl/boy can look back and see all the fun you had? Yeah, I’ve been there, too. Maybe I don’t have the hostess-with-the-mostess thing down, but I always feel like I’m spinning my wheels at the height of a party and find myself wishing I were an octopus. Come to think of it, having eight arms on most days would come in handy.

Well, this group of moms who met in a group when their little ones were just babies have a tradition of a group birthday party and decided that instead of trying to grow more arms, they would have me there to at least take care of the photo part of the party. It was SO much fun! The jungle safari theme was perfect for these cute little animals.

Love all of these details!

It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to… and then I’ll run.

Completely geared up for the jungle safari hunt. Bring on the lions and tigers!

Parachute time. (They have parachutes in the jungle, right?)

Climbing on tables – animals, I tell you!

This little explorer was really hoping to “pet” the bees. Hmm. Not so much, little guy.

Thank you to all of you for having me! It was a ton of fun seeing you all and playing with your 2-year-olds. (Can you believe they are two already?)
