Happy Birthday Dylan and Mahna Mahna!

You know how they say "Don't Blink"? Well, let me tell ya - Don't! Dylan has been 2 for a little over two weeks now and it still feels weird when I say it. TWO YEARS!! Wow. Our little ham (I call him little ham a good bit because the kid is pretty darn hilarious) has changed so much. No more walking. We now run. No more reaching on our tip toes. We climb (and very high at that). He talks a ton, he understands much more. He jumps, he slides, he dances, he plays hide and seek (also known as "make momma panic") and once again, he CLIMBS! He quotes movies and things he hears that make him laugh. He imitates. He sings. And what once was just peach fuzz a top his rather large noggin is now a full head of shaggy brown hair. I can go on and on. I love our little boy and I thank God each day for pairing him with us. He can be oh so stubborn, impatient and frustrated at times (all like his momma), but more than that he shows so much kindness, love and joy. I'm so blessed and proud to call him ours.

To celebrate his 2-year mark, we figured what would be better than some Muppets! Like I mentioned in my sneak peak post the Lotts watch a whole lot of the Muppets. We own the soundtrack too! Everyone of us loves them and I hope Payton grows to love them just as much. In addition to Kermit and Friends - since Dylan is a summer baby we deal with that good ole Mississippi summer heat (I melt. Literally. I have witnesses.). So I decided to include some water fun for the kids - inflatable slip-n-slide, kiddie pool, water sprinkler - all that good stuff. AND of course what would a party be for me without an opportunity to design some stuff! I tried to keep it more simple this year, but still enjoyed working up a few things for the partay.

It really was a great celebration full of fun for Dylan and the kiddos made special with family and close friends by his side. Below is a series of photos of the day and all the designed decor. Hope you enjoy. Mahna Mahna!


The Birthday Invite.

Front Door decor. Consisted of framed art, multi-colored streamers (I heart streamers - so cheery) and balloons.
Framed art was based on some simplistic character designs I had found that I fell in love with.

Back Porch decor. Billy Ball Bouquet, Streamers, Balloons and Dylan's toy
Muppet PUPPETS used as table centerpieces!

Rinse Station Signage + Water Buckets.

The Party Favors! Including original designed gift tags. Love some PEZ.
