Harper's 2nd Birthday

Our precocious granddaughter, Harper, loves cows. So that was a natural choice of themes for a February birthday party. Turning 2 is a big event and we celebrated with full detail to the cow theme - cow balloons, bovine and farm themed food, and farm friendly decorations that embraced not only cows but our family's heritage of farming. Quilts on the table, vintage milk bottles for flower vases and a wooden crate from the milk company my father delivered for when I was born. Family and friends created the perfect day for our Harper to make the plunge into two!

• Desserts

  Guests enjoyed a delicious strawberry-filled birthday cake with ice cream.

• Party Favors

  The little guests received a small barn filled with goodies; cow barrette, farm stickers, miniature farm animals and a custom farm animal cookie from TSC cookies, Etsy.
