Our Cowboy Turned 2!

Our Buckaroo is TWO!

Ace had a birthday party on Saturday...the COLDEST day of the year so far! We had been praying that it wouldn't rain on the day of his party but we forgot to pray for warmth. It's Houston! Usually warmth and humidity is a given. We set up the tables, bounce house and horses across the street in the green area but about 30 minutes into the party, the GUESTS helped us move everything but the ponies into our back yard where the fence ad house blocked most of the wind.
Ace wasn't going anywhere. I purposefully got 4 horses because I knew he wouldn't share just one or two. We had them for two hours and Ace rode ALL of the two hours. We couldn't get him off unless it was to switch to another pony: Blaze, Jack, Outlaw and Sunshine.

It was so cold. At first, he didn't want mittens. Finally, I think he was so frozen, he gave in. That's why he's got on his winter gear!

When we finally had to really say goodbye to the ponies, the above picture was Ace's reaction. Bye, bye ponies - in tears. The horse lady was so nice, she took the pony out of the carousel and let Ace ride it across the street and into the backyard so that he arrived to his party in STYLE! How nice is that?

I couldn't decide whether to have a sherriff's badge or a cowboy hat for his party - so he got both. The badge was vanill and the hat was chocolate. Both were delicious. I love the photo above because it shows Ace's hand reaching to get into it...just like his mommy!

These were the favors we made for our party guests.

We had the best time and were so glad that so many family and friends could be there. Honey and B - I need your pictures because these are about the extent of mine! He had the best birthday and loves all of his new presents. I'll have to post what they are so that other moms can have some great ideas. He's really gotten into all of them.

Thanks EVERYONE!
