sully's birthday party

we celebrated sully's second birthday with friends and family last saturday night. i grew up reading the book blueberries for sal and have loved reading it to my boys too. and since my little sul loves picking/eating blueberries i thought it would be fun to make a party out of it! i took sully to pick berries a few weeks back so i could use a picture of him with blueberries for the invitation.

there is this amazing blueberry farm about eight minutes from our house and it was the perfect place for the party! craig, the boys and i set up for the party at the farm and then waited for our friends to arrive.

once sully's friends got there, they picked (more like snarfed down) berries before it was pizza time.

the feeding frenzy. i didnt get a chance to take a picture of the dinner set up (pizza, fruit salad, and sparkling blueberry juice) because the dinner was snarfed down too.

i was fine with dinner going quickly because then i got to put out the dessert. cake, cupcakes, and blueberry pie pops.

this was my first time making pie pops (pie dough even!) but i loved how they turned out. and cant wait to make them again. i superimposed sully's face onto the book cover of blueberries for sal and made it into the water bottle labels. anna said it looked creepy. rude.

then it was story time. i only got thru about two pages before we had a special visitor (the bear from the book) come to surprise the kids.

we had a bear at sully's party last year but it so entertaining (and went with the book) so we did it again.

then it was present time. sully was so freaking cute in his little crown.

he was quite excited about the present-opening situation.

after presents, it was cake time.

sully blew out his candles like a champ.

we love our little guy so much. look at that face. it would be impossible not to.
