Emmy the Explorer

It's hard to believe that my baby girl is 2 years old! She is such a precious blessing, so full of life and personality. She cracks me up with her little expressions and the little way she dance/walks. She is such a happy little girl and brings so much joy to our family! We thank the Lord for her sweet little life!

She is potty trained and talking up a storm (and has been for months now) and she is always singing. Always. That baby has got a song in her heart! She sings "Twinkle Twinkle" from start to finish perfectly, and now she even does a "Meow Meow" version of the song. Sometimes its "Mommy or Daddy" version.  Its pretty cute. She loves to dance and any skirt or tutu makes her an "Au-rina" (Ballerina).

She LOVES Dora. She sings the songs, knows all the characters, and frequently tells me Dora Dora is  her "fav-it." So naturally, we had to have a Dora party for her! She was so excited! We decided with everything going on right now, to have a small family party at my sister's house. I still had to make it cute though. It is my job after all. :-) My most favorite piece I did was the Chalkboard "Milestones" sign. I just love it because it really captures her in this little stage of her life.

She loved everything about her party and didn't want to move from this spot! She was showing us she is two years old!

Since it was almost Cinco de Mayo too, there was no shortage of "Fiesta" decor, including the mini sombreros on the drink bottles, that very quickly made their way to the kids heads. They loved it! Purple and Orange soda for the kids with Emmy the Explorer labels, and "Maps Margaritas" for the adults! Ole!

Emmy knows and loves all of the characters in Dora the Explorer, so I made all the food signs with each little character. We started with "The Fiesta Trio's Chips, Salsa & Guacamole"! Then we had "Tico's Taco Bar", "Benny's Beans", and "Isa's Rice" for our Carne Adada Bar.

For "Dora's Desserts" we had Purple Lemonade Cheesecakes,  "Boot's Banana Bites," "Diego's Rescued Animals," and "Swiper's Snickerdoodle Churros." 

After dinner the kids swam and played, Emmy opened her presents and that was it! It was so fun! Such a great little party for our sweet little 

Emmalise!
