Jocelyn's 2nd Birthday Party

Last Saturday, we had Jocelyn's 2nd birthday party!  In true "Breck" fashion, I just couldn't stop myself from blowing this party completely out of proportion....for a 2 year old.  Similar to last years party, I went out of control?!?  Oh well,....I was quite pleased with the way everything turned out.  Unfortunately, she will not remember it, but at least she will have the pictures to look back on. 

This year, I decided to go with at "Western" theme.  I picked that due to the fact that we are now the proud owners of a tractor I thought it would be cute to incorporate that into the party.  Well, we didn't quite make it back up to Illinois to pick up the tractor in time for the party, but we still proceeded anyway. 

Jocelyn's super cute party invitation.  My sweet friend Jill made all of her invites, thank you's...basically anything printed....she made.  She is a mortgage processor by day, and loves to do graphic design by night :)

I proudly displayed all of Jocelyn's 2 year photos!

Speaks for itself

Cupcakes cubed made her cupcakes....no, I am not that amazing

A little outside ambiance.  Grandpa made this fake steer that Jocelyn kept calling "horsey"

Jill also made these "wanted"posters.  I just about died when I saw them for the first time.  SO cute!

Jill made this as well.  I thought this turned out so cute!  I found the original idea on pinterest.

Kevin "the balloon guy".  I need to give Kev a little shout out for a minute.  He was SO awesome!  If you can't tell by this picture, we had a FULL house.  75 people plus a balloon artist to be exact.  Pretty sure the firemarshall wouldn't have approved.  Anyhow, the kiddos loved Kevin, and he was so sweet with them and so patient.  I would highly recommend him!

May I please draw your attention to the small bicycle tire pump in the background.  Kevin, AKA "the balloon guy's" pump broke on him mid party, so we had to loan him this bicycle tire pump.  Poor guy was trying to blow up the balloons with his own lungs?!? With as many kids as we had, he would have passed out for sure!

I love this picture!  Cowgirl Jocelyn and Cowboy Carter...jumping on a bed they are NOT supposed to be on.....

Derek had a tiara made for me.  So sweet honey...what are you trying to say?

Once again, stupidly, I decided to open Jocelyn's gifts.  Similar to last year, she was completely uninterested....but I had at least 5 other helpers the entire time.

This last picture is just a little snapshot of what my house looked like after the 75 people, plus the balloon guy left.....like a bomb went off.  I wouldn't have changed a thing.  I think everyone had a good time, and we are so blessed to have such a great family and wonderful friends that all love Jocelyn so much!
