We had a WILD time!

Have you given up looking for pictures of Trevor's birthday party?!?! Well, you don't have to wait any longer! I thought I should get Trevor's birthday up before Shane's party.
With Trevor turning 2 our house is a zoo so I went along with a zoo theme. He absolutely adores animals so he loved everything about the party too. I will admit, I figured the theme for his 2nd birthday not shortly after he was born! Can you tell I LOVE birthdays. I get it from my mom but like everything I do I take it to the extreme!

Trevor sure was happy to have 13 little friends and 4 babies at his party. It was great to have so many friends and family here to celebrate our little monkey's birthday! He woke up saying Birthday birthday. Happy birthday to you Trevor! He was too excited to FINALLY get all the attention!

The Piggies and Paws for his scrapbook. I had pictures of him too but forgot to pick them up! Oh well. The party favor's are the little tags with bags full of animals bubbles, animal fruit snacks, cookies, and more!

What's a party without food. We had Wild Greens, Monkey Fruit, and other zoo food like hot dogs and nachos.

The animal feed is my favorite- Chex Muddie Buddies! Tara and Cyndi helped me polish it off after the party. YUMMY!


The kids went on a hunt by themselves while we were waiting for everyone to arrive. I love seeing kids explore and use their imaginations it was too fun.
Future wife of Trevor, maybe. Isn't she a doll??? Alyssa is just ONE of the little darlings at his party. There are too many cute little girls for me to choose from I GUESS I'll let him pick!


The birthday boy got into the cupcakes early but I guess that is his job as the birthday boy! He wanted to do his traditional Trevor with goodies which is take one bite of each cupcake, cookie, donut or whatever it may be and put it back. Aunt Tara caught him before he could do this!


Poor, poor pinata. Actually poor Mommy for picking out ANOTHER lame pinata. For Shane's birthday last year we got the pinata at Target. It was filled with newspaper and you couldn't fit anything in it! Damon had to throw the candy from a treasure chest instead. I remembered this so being the smart person that I am I didn't go to Target but ordered one from Oriental Trading and guess what?!?! It was filled with newspaper too and the paper doesn't come out! I guess this is what you get when the Chinese try to make something the Mexicans should! So the WT Young's didn't have a pinata AGAIN and Damon threw the candy from a Target bag instead! We'll see if I'm more successful with Shane's party. The kids don't really mind as long as they get candy. It would be one thing if I was saving the $20 and doing it this way but I'm not!!!


Trevor enjoying being sang too. Well actually, he was in shock with all the people singing to him. At breakfast on his pancake he kept blowing out the candles and saying again. At his party, Dad had to help him blow them out because he was in shock and dazed! Isn't that banana split cake so cool? Thanks Cyndi for helping me make it! I knew the kids wouldn't eat it but I wanted to have something fun for him to blow his candles out of instead of cupcakes!

Gabe and Shane enjoying the cupcakes.
Thanks everything for making Trevor's 2nd birthday extra special. He is still enjoying all the fun gifts and we thank you for that! It's hard to believe that my BABY is 2! His life has really been a blur to me. I can hardly remember him as a baby. I do remember his ultra soft baby skin, his dinosaur screech of a cry, and the tender late night moments we'd share during his feeding time. I already don't remember his first tooth or how much he weighed at 4 months but I will never forget the first time he smiled at me and all the smiles he has given me since then. Trevor is such a sweet and tender little boy. Thanks Trevs for being a part of our family. Life would be calm, quiet, and BORING without you to LIVEN things up. I love you sweet, wild, and crazy boy.

We LOVED your party for Trevor, Tricia. Jeremy was even impressed . . . and he's normally not into that stuff. You did a GREAT job and my kids had such fun.

For a party with ANYTHING referred to as WT, it was A-MAS-ING! Loved every bit of it! Allie still has her zebra stripped sunglasses from the party, and wears them when we are in the car.
We love you Trevor! (I almost wrote "Baby Trevor," still can't believe he's TWO! Stop growing.)

Tara said...

Oh, and I meant to type A -MAZ-ING...stupid S & Z, too close to each other on the keyboard. Ü
See you Saturday for Shanes party. (Allie won't stop talking about it!)

Tricia said...

The banana split cake is just a yellow cake and then the layers are cool whip, chocolate sauce, sliced bananas and then the mixture from dirt cake of cream cheese, pudding, cool whip. I usually just do a search online for the recipe. It turned out looking cute!
