Maya Birthday Party Day!

New birthday outfit: check. Birthday girl crown: check. Wearing of birthday crown all day: priceless.

The cake! Maya's birthday party was at the Lil' Buddies Learning Zoo which is a petting zoo in Blythewood. We did a farm theme so the cake had little farm animals on it and it turned out awesome!!!!

Before the guests arrived the girls checked out the farm and stables and befriended a little girl and a tiny black kitty.

The chickens made Maya a little nervous.

Maya made a million laps, checking out all of the animals.

I think all of the kids, and parents, loved seeing the different kinds of animals and petting them.

Maya is a little unsure about feeding the pigs at her petting zoo party. A little duck chasing, horse petting, and rock throwing. That's my birthday girl. Maya pets a little kitty (who is like a little Mia), sees her friend Lucy, and then a goat gets loud.

The bunnies were a big hit.

Lilly and Maya

Delaney and Morgan feeding the goats. The staff were so great with helping the kids and avoiding chaos, which is something I was concerned about with this party. I read about this zoo in a parent magazine and I actually never went there before the party, which in hindsight is a little scary. It was an amazing place thank goodness! I was a little nervous when booking the party so I asked the coordinator if two year olds would be safe. She said that none of the animals bite. I told her that I was more nervous for the animals with two year olds. :)

A little Grammy love

Maya gets her birthday cupcake and blows out the candle. Maya prefers the huge cake over the cupcake. Once again, that's my girl.

Leila with Sandy

Megan watches her boys and Davis and Delaney and Morgan on the trampoline.

Maya loves her some Bubba.

Delaney already had her eyes on Maya's new doll from Uncle Dave.

The girls played on a tire swing before we left the party.

Maya passed out almost immediately on the ride home---crown and all.

But of course then she got up the second we arrived home and wanted to play. No nap after that. We opened some presents---this pogo stick included---that squeaks when you jump on it. Best present ever!!!! Maya got a little overstimulated and refused to open any more presents because she had had enough. Poor little birthday girl. Too much fun. :)
