Partytime. Excellent.

We are not a big-time fancy party people. But we like friends and we love food, so when it came time for Libby's 2nd birthday (that we knew she wouldn't remember anyways...) we went casual. 

We invited a couple of neighbor friends to come over and do what we normally do: Ride bikes, play with sidewalk chalk, blow bubbles, play with balloons, and just generally enjoy each other's company. 

 Only this time we provided some cupcakes. Libby chose chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.

Yum. The chocolate buttercream frosting recipe I used was AMAYZING! (The Y is for Yum.)

Libby and Marley (our sweet neighbor girl) pretending to like each other. Mostly, they love each other... from a distance. As in, they like to wave "Hi" and "Bye" but don't expect them to share anything or you'll have some of this on your hands.

 Hey, it's her party. She can cry if she wants to.

 Lemme tell ya. The cupcakes were to die for. 

 As in, my mouth is watering just looking at these pictures. Please go make some. 

And think of my heartbreak at my youngest babe turning 2 years old. Cry a tear for me.
