The night before the party I made a Teletubby train cake. I also made Oreo surprise cupcakes. The morning of I decorated them, prepared the Po pizza ingredients, and made brushetta (Tinky-Winky Toast). We threw soda, beer and wine in the cooler, and I made home made Laa-Laa lemonade, and Tubby Tea.
--yummy oreo surprise cupcakes!--
--Teletubby train cake (hard to decorate!!)--At the beginning of each episode of Teletubbies the sun comes up over the horizon with a laughing baby face. We put together our own McKenna-ized version.
--Official Teletubby sunshine--
--Mac's face on the sunshine--I also made signs that explained what was going on, and Josh made his own sign to put on the door that said "Laa-Laa takes off her shoes." This is hilarious to anyone that has ever watched the show, because it sounds just like what the narrator would say :) The family started to arrive, and thank goodness Denny and Kathy got there early, because I was a wreck trying to get Brushetta in the oven, and make enough toppings and pizza dough for 30 people! They really saved me!

Scott, Melissa, Austin, Stahr family, Andersen family, Stone family and Abby couldn't make it. Almost everyone that we invited came, and thanks to all for making it! After most people had arrived, I handed out their pizza order forms.

--I made pizza's on the grill for everyone, special order!--The pizza was a big hit. I make them like rustic, Italian style, and they are yummy!!!! I did have quite a hard time grilling while it was raining...had to cover all the ingredients up and then uncover them every time I made a pizza. But, everyone seemed to have fun while waiting for their food!
After lunch we opened presents, and man did McKenna make a haul! She got clothes, books, a tiny tikes castle, an elmo shape game, some coloring books, sidewalk chalk, a baby doll, cinderella and horse toy, kitties and kitty carrier, jack in the box, alphabet game, sand and water outdoor toy from Gona and Baca, a party kitchen from Grampa Rue, some teletubby dolls from mommy and a necklace from daddy. Daddy got me a mother and child necklace with McKenna's birthstone in it for my birthday/mother's day. He got McKenna the same one for her birthday, but with my birthstone in it...so cute!!
--hard to tell but it is silver with a tall figure on one side (mommy) and a shorter figure on the other (mckenna). My birthstone (aquamarine) is in the middle--
--McKenna and Avi before presents--
--playing with her castle--
--the sunglasses were a hit!--

--Happy birthday sweet girl!--
--Happy birthday sweet girl!--We hadn't practiced blowing out the candles, so her friend Sam had to help! He did a great job, then everyone chowed down on the cupcakes and train!
Thanks to all who came, we had such a wonderful time! We had originally planned on having it outdoors, but with the weather, we had to reorganize our entire main floor to accommodate so many people! We had so much fun, and are so happy that we could share it with all the wonderful people in our life! Thanks so much to Aunti Em, Mark, Gona and Baca for helping to host/serve pizza/clean/and basically coordinate such a huge event!!
--the first thing McKenna wanted to do this morning was play with her "kit-ton"--
--Now my baby is official 2 years old!!! I can't believe it!--
