The Taylor Times: Andrew's 2nd Birthday

We celebrated Andrew's 2nd birthday last Saturday and it was so fun! We had an Elmo themed party at the park in our neighborhood, which ended up working out great. The weather was absolutely beautiful! We had lots of friends and family join us for the party. I had planned on the kids playing on the playground most of the time, hopefully taking a break to eat some lunch. I had also reserved the tennis courts, thinking that maybe the kids would want to bounce some balls around, but it turned out that all they wanted to do was play on the courts. It was great because they just ran around and rode the ride-on toys inside the courts (a nice confined area) the whole party. It ended up working out perfectly.

We had James Coney Island cater the party, which was great! Of course the hot dogs were delicious, and the server set up everything in no time and was really friendly. Best of all, I didn't have to worry about the food at all. I highly recommend JCI for future parties. I also had some vegan cupcakes made, since Andrew is allergic to eggs. Having never tried vegan cupcakes or cake, I was a little nervous that they wouldn't taste as good as the "real" stuff. But they were actually delicious! They weren't 100% vegan since they did use real butter cream frosting, but I think that is was made them so good. :-)

All in all, it was a great party and I know that Andrew had a blast! Here are some pictures from the big day!
