J turns 2 today! We celebrated in style this weekend with a few of our good friends. J’s two best buds also celebrated a birthday this month, so we combined the 3 birthdays into one big party.
I had a wonderful time planning the big day with my friends. We came up with some fun ideas and ended up having a great birthday party! Check out our Pinterest Zoo Birthday Pinboard where we got a lot of our ideas.

ReplyDeleteawesome party...do you have the recipe for the Elephant PB&J Sandwiches?
ReplyDeleteI just made regular pb&j sandwiches and used an elephant cookie cutter to cut out the sandwich. Super easy!

Deleteand what about the monkey cupcakes..are those full cookies or u cut them in half?
ReplyDeleteI actually didn't make those, another Mom did. We did find them on pinterest, however the link to the source was broken. I did a little google search and found a blog with directions. Hope this helps. http://www.yanowhatimean.com/archives/003115.php
