After lots of fun on Jillian's actual birthday, we also had lots of fun celebrating our new two-year-old on Sunday, too! We had a little party for some of her other favorite two-year-olds and family at The Little Gym! We did an Elmo theme but in Jillian's favorite colors - pink and orange! She was a bit unsure of everything at first, but once the fun started, Jillian had a blast!

There was lots of time to play on the mats, with balls and bubbles, on the bars, on the balance bean, and to climb on all the other fun equipment!

Jillian was most excited that all the people she loves were there - she had so much fun playing with Uncle Neil!

Everyone got to play some fun music games, too.

A super-fun highlight was when they brought out the parachute!

Jillian and big sister got to sit in the middle of the parachute and get all wrapped up while her friends sang to her

The last big activity of the party was the tumble track, which is like a bounce house floor for the kids to jump on. Jillian wasn't so sure. Luckily, she had recently insisted that Bubbie come join the fun in the gym instead of just watching, so she was safe in her arms!

After a little watching, Jillian finally tried out the tumble-track!

Finally, it was cake time! When you ask Jillian what you do on your birthday, she demonstrates blowing out a candle, so she was ready! Plus, these cupcakes had been teasing her from the counter all day, so it was about time!

I found this adorable set of printables on Etsy that helped girly up the Elmo theme (they have a J, a 2, a Sesame Street sign that says "Jillian", and an Elmo), and made sure we had pink and orange cupcakes for Jillian to choose from!
This was probably a cruel thing for me to do - made her sit her for a picture but not touch!
Jillian asked for a "o-ange" cupcake, so she got one with orange sprinkles but a pink wrapper - she was a very happy girl!
Ready....
Make a wish!
I think she liked em!
I also put together these cute little favors with tags from the Etsy set.

This picture makes me laugh - I was trying to get a pic of Jillian with Austin, but Meredith really wanted to join them - they don't seem to be sure about her intruding!
Just another picture of the cutesy decorations
Sweet friends ending the party!
