Monster Mash Birthday Bash!!!

Well, our baby is 2! Yep... it happened today. Crazy. We kicked off Ruby's 3rd year of life with a Monster Mash Birthday Bash will all of our favorite friends (that could make it), dancin' to Ruby's favorite tunes. The party was so much fun. I know... I know... she's only 2. I just love a good reason to have a party! Thank you everyone for all of your help, gifts, and company today. Dorothy... I mean Ruby LOVED everything.

She needed a little help blowing out the candles on the famous/much anticipated "Elmo cake." Thanks to Amy Bellamy for making the AWESOME cake and character cupcakes. She is mucho talented.

We had a special guest appearance by my awesome friend Dana. Ruby was so starstruck that Snow White would attend her party. She ran right up to her when she arrived:)
She was also intrigued by the talented Danna, a professional Face Painter who did an awesome job with all of the willing kids.
Our little dancer... getting some air as she tore up the dance floor.
Mmmmm... don't judge this spread... this was pre-party... during setup:)

Ruby topped the afternoon off with a nap while I had to scurry of to a photo shoot... stay tuned here for that cute engagement session. Later, we hit up Hires for dinner and it did not disappoint. What a great birthday. It is so amazing how Ruby's birthday is 10 times more exciting and fun than my own.

Oh, man. I am so sad we missed this party. And now it's like these pictures are just rubbing it in. You have no idea what I would do for one of those caramel apples right now. . .

I was taking a video of Adam today and trying to get him to say he loved me the best, but he just kept saying over and over that he loves Ruby the best. . . so sad for a mother of a two-year old to hear.
