Kinley had her second birthday party at the house and just like last year, it was beautiful weather during the weeks leading up to her party and then it rained all day the day before and the morning of her party. :-( At least it was 70 degrees and not 43 like last year, so the kids were able to play outside, but the constant in and out of the house made for one muddy mess on our carpets. I think I'm just going to have to accept that it's too hard to plan a Spring backyard party with our unpredictable weather this time of year and do something different in the future. :-( With all of that said, I think the kids still had a great time and that's all that matters. Kinley adores animals, so we had a very small petting zoo set up and she loved it! I think it had some baby chicks, 2 ducks, 2 bunnies, lamb, goat and pig. She enjoyed the baby chicks the most. They were the hit with all the kids. It was great to spend time with our wonderful family and friends and we appreciate everyone celebrating our little girl's special day!
