Happy happy birthday to my girl!

Happy birthday Josilyn! It's been a crazy few weeks, but we made it to 2!!!

Last week was a little chaotic to say the least, lots of activities, playdates, work, party prepping, a bad case of the flu (for mommy) and I was starting to wonder if we'd make it to Friday. Thankfully everything came together perfectly.

We had to modify our plans a little, but Ryan and I were able to help Josilyn celebrate her 2nd birthday with a trip to Nickelodeon Universe for some fun rides and a special dessert. Thank goodness Ryan didn't catch whatever I had because he was on 100% ride duty. Josilyn seemed to have a blast ... maybe she'll be ready for Valleyfair next year.

Thanks to my flu bug, my party prepping was put on a major hiatus, causing me to order a cake instead of doing one myself. I was however able to muster up enough energy to make a small batch of Elmo Cake Pops for all the kids to enjoy at her party.

The birthday party went off without a hitch! It was so fun to see all of Josilyn's little buddies in one place. The park was a hit and allowed all the kids to burn off lots of energy (and birthday cake) and the parents could still visit a little.

We are so thankful to have such wonderful family and friends in Josilyn's life. She truly is a very lucky little lady!
