Sylvie's 2nd Birthday Party

While Sylvie's actual birthday isn't for another week, we thought it would be a good idea to have a party with friends before the holiday craziness really kicks into high gear.
The theme was cupcake decorating...nothing too elaborate. We had something like 20 adults and seven or so toddlers. The kids seemed to have fun running around as general chaos ensued, though it wasn't totally our of control. Our downstairs neighbors probably thought differently; they weren't too please with all the noise, but oh well!

Here are some pictures and videos from the day.

In the morning, Sylvie not only helped me mix the cupcake batter, but she also practiced her butter stacking skills. She has become quite the little helper in the kitchen.

A little "Ring Around the Rosie" (Sylvie's favorite) to pick up where we left off at Thanksgiving.

Finally, fun on the chaise lounge.
