silvie's goodnight moon party

last weekend we celebrated silvie's 2nd birthday with almost 40 friends and family! the theme was inspired from her favorite book, goodnight moon. please observe her little personality as you scroll down the screen.

{taking a break from the crowd}

{at this point of the party she was done, but kept it together and enjoyed everyone's attention while they sang to her} 

{like last year, we wanted to keep to tradition with her main gift related to the party theme. i found this vintage toyhouse on ebay, bid & won!}

{enjoying smaller numbers & play}

{h-a-p-p-y} 

as much as i love the planning and decorating that goes into entertaining large groups, silvie taught me a very valuable lesson this year through her delicate introverted personality. less is more. so next year, we're drastically changing up the typical party scene and coming up with something that fits her and our family best.  

a huge shout-out to my mother for her creative help, and to my good friend cheryl for her assistance in photographing silvie's special day. i'm so incredibly blessed to have you ladies in my life. and thank you friends for coming, staying and enduring silvie's non-interest in you. ;)
