Froggy Birthday Party

Ellis is turning two tomorrow! On Saturday night, we had our babysitting group + a few extras over for a birthday party. Ellis' choice: a froggy party!

The froggy cupcakes (definitely Ellis' favorite part)!

Dinner: Cheesy froggy tongues and some "french flies" (credit to Grandpa Dave for that idea, of course)

The big kids eating human food while Ellis watches (he had his regular baby food in front of the computer while watching the Ellis show -- of course)

I think the reason Ellis was so excited about a froggy party is that he loves the "Froggy" books by Jonathan London. We got a few new ones to read at the party. Unfortunately, while all of the other kids were spellbound by Ben's reading . . .

. . . Ellis was busy moving a chair across the room to get a closer look at the FROGGY CUPCAKES!!!

And finally . . . CUPCAKE TIME!!!

I am in love with this picture.

Made a wish (probably for another cupcake every day this week)!

Isn't he adorable? Who wouldn't want to just gobble him up?

More on Ellis after the real birthday tomorrow!

I love the candles on his birthday cupcake, they are as tall as him!!! I love how he couldn't take his eyes off the cupcakes!! He is such an adorable kid. You are lucky to have your boys:)

Look at that leap frog. Pretty impressive that they made it all through the house! Ava's got some hops. Thanks for the fun time.

Never heard of those froggy books. I'll have to check them out.
