Emma Turns 2! | Ice Cream Social

How is it possible that Emma is two?!  We have now not only survived her first year, but her second year too!  Praise God!

It was a lot of fun and less stressful planning Emma's 2nd birthday party {Ice Cream Social} this year.  We didn't get another water bounce house, but we had a water slide, a small bounce house and a few other things for the kids to play.  AND we got to host it on our new patio, which was great!

We kept it somewhat simple this year for her party, but I loved the way it all came together.  I'm getting a little better with party decorations.  It's definitely not Pinterest worthy, but we are getting there ;)

Here are some pictures from Emma's party! ENJOY!

This book came from Shutterfly and I love the way it turned out. We put all of her pictures from her 2 year/ice cream photo shoot in this hardcover book and it was perfect for everyone at her party to look at.  Shutterfly always has great deals and freebies too, so be sure to sign up for their emails if you aren't already.


We moved our deep freezer to our back patio for the day of the party to keep all the ice cream in and just had to turn it into an ice cream truck!  How cute is this?!  Of course, Emma had to help decorate it too :)  I can't take credit for this though...our friend, Brittany, was nice enough to draw this for us.

Recipe | Animal Cracker popcorn

Who doesn't love popcorn?  Especially when it is covered in melted candy and sprinkles!  This was such a fun and easy recipe I did for Emma's 2nd birthday party and I wanted to share.  The sprinkles were the perfect addition to her "Ice Cream Social theme".  I literally made this less than half an hour before the party.  The great thing about it, is you can take this to any party and alter the candy and toppings to your liking!


"Animal Cracker Popcorn"
  •  8 cups popped popcorn (we popped our own and only used about 1 cup of kernels)
  •  1 cup of melting candy (I may have used the entire bag...color of your choice)
  • Sprinkles!  Lots of sprinkles!
