Second Birthday Party for Anna, Elizabeth and Kate!

We celebrated the girls' second birthday a week early along with two of their cousins--Jake and Claire. We did a fun summer watermelon theme and I have to admit, my mom and I got a little carried away with it--as usual :)

It was a lot of fun and the girls really seemed to enjoy their gifts, cake and especially ALL the attention. Can't believe they will be TWO in a week!

My mom made the cake

watermelon cookies

The work of my mom-- chocolate covered pound cake that look like slices of watermelon

My watermelon cheese ball

Petite watermelons--hollowed out limes with watermelon jello and little chocolate chips

Happy Birthday Claire!
