On Thursday, June 13th, we celebrated Savannah's second birthday with a party here in Saudi. Yes, it's about three weeks early, but we wanted to celebrate with all of her friends before everyone leaves for summer vacation. Our sweet pea absolutely loves singing and dancing (remember the Play School Graduation?). For the last six months or so her favorite song has been "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" so I decided that would be a great theme for her birthday party! I created all of the decorations with my handy dandy Silhouette machine and voila, it turned out sooo cute!

| The cake I made myself! It's not the prettiest thing, but it took a lot of work! |
I set up different stations with a few activities to keep the kids busy during the party. We had the toys, a play dough table, and a coloring table.
I started hanging decorations the day before, but we set up most things downstairs in living area the day of Savannah's party while she was taking a nap. When Savannah woke up, came downstairs, and saw all of the starry goodness, she was absolutely mesmerized!

After some hugs from Daddy, we were able to get a few pictures of us with Savannah.
 |
| Best shot we got. LOL! She was ready to play! |
Once our guests started arriving, the fun kicked into high gear!! The kids had a blast hanging out together and playing, and the parents enjoyed some good food and fellowship. It was so much fun to watch Savannah enjoy her party!

| What do you mean I'm too big for this thing? |

| Trying to reach for the stars! |
It was soon time to open presents! Savannah has become quite the skilled present opener and was so excited to see all of her goodies! We helped her get the paper started, but she really enjoyed ripping them open. :)
We saved our present to her for last- her very own play kitchen. Needless to say it has been a hit- with ALL of the kids!
Next we cut the cake and sang "Happy Birthday" to our sweet girl! Ironically for someone who loves music and singing, she seemed a little startled when everyone looked at her and started singing all together, but she enjoyed trying to blow out her candle.

After finishing the birthday festivities, we invited everyone to stay for dinner (red beans and rice) and enjoy some more hanging out!

The adults and the kids alike had a FANTASTIC time hanging out! As the evening began to wind down, we got all the kids together on the couch inside for a group picture.

It was truly a fantastic night of celebrating our Savannah's birth and the friendships that have turned into a second family! We love you Savannah and cannot wait for another year of fun! You truly are our little twinkling star!
