36 and 2! The Art Party!

We had an art party for Brooke's 2nd birthday, mostly because in her two years the girl has written all over our house with markers and crayons. I thought we would celebrate her love of art by making a "messy art" themed party. Unfortunately, my messy art stations had to be sidelined because it was really rainy and cold outside. I tried to convince Cory to let the kids splatter paint in the house, but he said no! :) Anyway, we had to change things up a bit, but it still turned out to be a great day! The kids did about 2 or 3 projects, and then they were done with all the organized activities. They painted a letter for their name, a mask, and created shaving cream art. I didn't care one bit that they lost interest, and we let them just play upstairs for most of the party. After lunch, some of the kids came back to the art supplies and did their own projects and masterpieces, which was really cute! 
We had a wonderful time celebrating with our friends and family, as always! Brooke and Hannah had some special creative art time together at their own little table which was really cute. They basically just dipped brushes in dirty water and put in on the paper, but it held their interest for a while. Brooke was really focused with her art, and seemed to take great care in picking out just the right color. 
The kids also got to design their own cupcakes with different color icing and sprinkles. It was so funny to see the ones that love icing, and the ones that don't. Some of those cupcakes were more icing than cupcake :)
