You are my Sunshine Birthday Party

"You are my Sunshine, my only Sunshine! You make me happy when skies are grey. You'll never know dear, how much I love you..."

This song fits my little one perfectly. My little girl just turned two. For our family party, I had fun decorating in colors as happy as she makes her family!

First, I used the orange, yellow and white tulle gathered in the center and secured by an elastic then attached the elastic to the center of my ceiling. Then I taped the other ends of the tulle to the walls in a tent-like fashion. I then hung some paper lanterns of differing sizes, colors, and lengths.

We decided to serve some of Livy's favorite orange and yellow snack foods: gold fish crackers, oranges, pineapple, mac&cheese and cantaloupe! I served orange star jello-jigglers, but my little one was not thrilled about the texture.

Instead of a cake, I made Orange Creamsicle Cupcakes topped with cupcake toppers featuring the birthday girl!

We played a DVD that my husband had made during the party. It had the last two years of pictures put into a slideshow format! It was fun to see how much our little sunshine has grown!

My favorite preparation for the party was the banner. It said, "Sunshine" with her face on either end.

The favors were small boxes of gold fish crackers and bags of lemon drops and bags of lemon drops with tags saying: "Thank you for brightening my birthday!"
