Meredith's Photo Shoot
For Meredith's second birthday I decided to do another photo shoot. Since I've been pining over the purple paper for a year now, I went ahead and bought it. :) On a side note, all of the kids had a blast playing on the purple paper when we were finished. I taped it to the floor and it was almost like a play mat for an hour. They just congregated on top of it and tossed balloons everywhere.
I wasn't quite as prepared this year, so I ended up driving to Hobby Lobby about 15 minutes before it closed in a hail storm (didn't know it was going to hail when I left the house...I'm not that crazy) to buy the flowers and butterflies for the background the night before we did this. I got a deal on them though, and now I can hang them in her bedroom, which is fairly sparsely decorated. I'm getting there girlie. By the time you're 3 your room might look a little more put together.
So you know what's challenging?....Getting a 2 year old to cooperate for a photo shoot! She was in a good mood and all, but she moved around so much and then she rarely looked at the camera. This girl needs more training! ;)
This is one of maybe 3 photos where she was actually looking at me. And probably the only one where she looks like she's posing.
Once we pulled the balloons out, it was all "Wow!" and tossing balloons into the air and turning away from the camera. :) I didn't manage to do a wardrobe change to the adorable fairy outfit Jen got her, and I forgot to put the unicorn horn that Brittney sent on her. "/
Rachael was my baby wrangler again, so her littles got in on the action. :)
James helped me take some test shots.
Meredith got so excited when we started singing the birthday song to her! :) And she blew out the candle all by herself!
Happy birthday Little Miss Meredith. Apparently all you ever wanted for your birthday was some purple paper and balloons. :)
