We celebrated Maverick's second birthday on Saturday with as much Elmo and Benadryl (and contact with his doctor) as we could. He was the drowsiest little birthday boy but it didn't keep him from having fun...you know, eating cake and opening up presents.
I think it's safe to say Maverick didn't love pin the nose on Elmo because each additional nose added made him more frustrated and is why he isn't in this photo.
I'm not sure how, but I finally made goody bags for the kiddos. They had little cans of play-doh, stickers, and suckers in them. I was pretty proud of the saying I came up with and all without scrolling Pinterest. However, I'm sure if I looked it up, I'd discover it isn't that original. Please don't burst my bubble.
We kept the decor and food fairly simple. Everyone seemed happy with pastries and fruit. Everything was easy to eat with hands and kid-friendly. The birthday banner has been used for at least 3 parties and it was given to us from a friend. Gotta love the use we've gotten from it! The Elmo lanterns were also from Dollar Tree and we took the eyes and noses off for future use.

A very genuine thank you to all the wonderful humans who helped us celebrate this sweet boy and an even bigger thank you to those who help us raise him on a daily basis. His life is full of love and laughter and support that comes from so many more loving humans than his parents. We're all better humans because of our community of family and friends.
Happy birthday Maverick Stanley! In your two short years, you have made an impression on the world that will last lifetimes. We pray you're always the you that was created on purpose and with a purpose. We love you, sweet boy!
P.S. There are so many people who aren't pictured here. Know you are loved and your being there was so meaningful! We love you all.
P.P.S If you're interested in the cost of the party, send me an email. I'd be more than happy to share.
