To wrap up the big celebration of Amaya's 2nd year of life, we hosted a party for her at our home, followed by a fun bear-making session at Build-A-Bear Workshop in Towson. We started the day by picking up her beautiful Disney princess themed cake from Yia Yia's Bakery in Rosedale. Once we returned home, Abe headed back out to pick up some delicious pizza from Ledo's and balloons from Party City,while the kids and I decorated and hung out until our first guests arrived at around 11:30. When Alex answered the door and saw that our first guests were his good friend Gaby and her Mom, he was super excited. In fact, he asked Gaby if she would like to play guns with him! LOL Gaby is a girly girl though, and opted to play with Amaya's mini princess figurines instead! Once everyone arrived we ate pizza, pansit, pasta salad, and some other yummy snacks. Then, we sang to our little princess, cut the cake, and enjoyed eating it. After cake, we opened presents and Amaya was so excited to get a princess lap top, a bath baby doll, some princess figurines, and lots of cute clothes! Around 1:45, we all headed out the door to the Towson Town Center to make our bears! All of the kids seem to have a wonderful time picking their bear, naming it, stuffing it, bathing it, choosing an outfit for it, dressing it, and of course singing lots of silly songs and doing lots of silly dances during the process! Alex picked a cute bear with a camo style fur, named him Michael Steve (LOL--though he has since changed it to just "Teddy") and dressed him in Cars 2 pajamas complete with slippers! Amaya picked a cute, girly bear with a heart print on her fur, named her "Princess Tangled" and dressed her in what else but a Rapunzel princess dress! At the end of the party, the kids marched around the store and posed for a group pic! It was such a wonderful day for such a special celebration, and we want to thank all of our family and friends for attending and joining in the fun! Now we get a 4 month break until Alex's birthday in March...phew!

Yummy! Too bad she dropped her cake on herself and needed a wardrobe change shortly after this pic.

Amaya seems to be very excited celebrating with friends. Went for a career counseling seminar last week. Liked the professional set up done at LA venues by the event planner I suppose. Simple drinks and beverages were offered with brunch snacks. Bought entry passes online at affordable prices for me and my friend.
