A COWGIRL BIRTHDAY . . .

For Rilyn's birthday party I decided to go with a cowgirl theme ... between her little rebel attitude, her favorite toy being her holster & pistol and her love for country music I figured I couldn't go wrong and what's cuter than a 2 year old little girl decked out in boots and a cowgirl hat!! Her little outfit was just too much and she had a great time at her party!!
I had these sign's (that kinda matched the invites) posted up all over the place at the party .. hahaaa ... the good & the evil!!!
To decorate, we transformed our living room into a dance floor complete with hay bails and a banner reading "Rilyn's Dance Hall", some mason jars with fresh flowers, a "Rilyn's Saloon" sign and some vintage style root beer & cream soda bottles for drinks!! I also couldn't help but make new photo blocks for her party this year since I made them for her 1st bday, to reflect some of our favorite photos of her life from 1 yrs old to 2!!
Here are some shots of everyone kickin up their heels on the dance floor!! Aunt Lacey taught everyone a little line dance and Rilyn gave us all a show jammin to her favorite song "Dirt Road Anthem" by Jason Aldean bustin out the air guitar and all .. hahaaaa!!
Keith hooked it up and brought Peanut over so all the kiddos got to take a pony ride ... the birthday girl wouldn't get within 10 feet of the pony however .. haaa!!! Trey had a really bad allergic reaction to the pony and got all red and swollen in the face and eyes .. thank god for Benadryl or we might have been takin him to the ER, which I guess would fit being that last year at Rilyn's birthday party he broke his arm and ended up there!!
Instead of cake or cupcakes, since Rilyn isn't really a fan of either ... I decided to do Root Beer Floats ... so I just stuck a couple candles in the ice cream!!
Rilyn LOVED opening up all her presents this year and scored some pretty cool stuff!!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for her party and stuck it out in the heat .. hahaaa .. it was a great day!!!

  1. I won't harass you ANYmore... (ok, one last time)- I am just always amazed by not only your creativity, but the ideas that come to you! Those are priceless! You did such an amazing job with all the details. Her outfit was TOO stinkin' cute, and I personally loved the idea of root beer floats in lieu of cake (although my FEISTY pants daughter didn't quite agree??)
    Awesome Awesome job, girly!
    Now, I'm just wonderin' IF/WHEN we'll see the evidence (I mean, photos) from YOUR birthday party!?...
