To start the day we had some favorites for breakfast, lunch with daddy, and did mani/pedis after a morning bath...
Maybe a bigger party will be in the works for other years- but for this year- some pizza, a high five from Chuck E Cheese, and endless buttons to push with family and a few friends were just the right size.The Elmo and Cookie Monster cupcakes didn't hurt either. {After all, she had been requesting cake since she woke up and we said it was her birthday.}

| These were cookies and cream cupcakes. To make them you basically take your favorite white cake recipe {or you could even use a mix}, and add crumbled up Oreo's to the batter. However, the best part is that there is one half of an Oreo on the bottom of the cupcake that acts as somewhat of a crust. Definitely making them again. |
I think the toddlers approved too.
Besides the cupcakes- these were the homemade parts of her birthday this year...

The 2 was sewn on with leftover fabric I already had onto a shirt we bought for $1.99. I used some iron on adhesive to help it stay put while I sewed it on. The buttons were added because when I originally tried a zig zag stitch {which my machine hates} it snagged part of the shirt a bit. However, the mishap made the shirt cuter, in my opinion anyway. This project happened thanks to the hubs because I didn't like any of the numbers you could buy and just iron on. He then said...why don't you just use some fabric and sew one? Duh.
Our nothin' fancy turned out to be pretty special.
