Barnyard theme

I should totally be doing work right now, but after working 14 hours (with a couple of breaks - putting Kiki to bed, etc), I'm taking a fifteen minute internet break. Which of course means more blog updates.

Last year for Katrina's first birthday party, we threw a "Very Hungry Caterpillar" themed party. I wrote out the pages of the story and taped them up on the wall with pictures of Katrina at various stages throughout the year. For her second birthday however, we opted to go for a barnyard theme.

It all started with Katrina's love of tractors, which began last year when we went strawberry picking. Since then, whenever she sees tractors, she has been super excited. Since we don't want to go theme-crazy around here, we chose a couple of key ways to thematically go with the idea. So I thought I would post the first percolation of Kiki's bday theme - the invite.

Most of our friends got evites with a very cute pic of Katrina. However, we are inviting three of her daycare friends, who got homemade invites. Kind of on the folksy side, but barnyardy nonetheless. The inside reads "Cluck Baa Moo, Katrina's turning two! She's hoping at her hoedown that she will see you!" What are you doing for your kid's second birthday or what have you done? I love to see and hear ideas!
