life with two sets of twins

twotti fruitti 2nd birthday party

July 4, 2018

I honestly can’t believe my babies had their SECOND birthday party. I was just telling Cody that I can’t even remember what life was like without our little twinners. He said he can remember how easy it was (LOL). Ahh, yes they may make traveling, or leaving the house in general and sleeping in more complicated but I think we’ll keep them. 😉

I had so much fun preparing for their party this year! I was searching for a cute theme and it’s hard to find one that is gender neutral. Everything is either super girly or super boyish.  I finally landed on the “TWO”tti Frutti theme and I’m so happy with how it turned out!

We had the party at our house which doesn’t have natural light even on a sunny day. The day of the party was very overcast and dark so I was bumming about how the pictures were going to turn out. I did the best I could!

I bought most of the party supplies and decor from the Target dollar section and Party City. The cute lemon banner and PARTY balloons were only $5! The cake came from Sweet Baby Cakes. We had subway catered but I also made some fruit kabobs and pasta salad. I hate worrying about cooking the food, so this was much easier!

McKenzie and Kasey’s dresses are Cat and Jack from Target. I am SO into rainbows right now and thought they would be perfect for the party. Harper is wearing a dress from a local boutique and a bow from Sprispals.

HOW TO MAKE A BALLOON ARCH

Here’s the most asked question I got asked after the party… how I made the balloon arch. I blew up a bunch of different size balloons in different colors. I measured a piece of twine to the length I wanted (plus extra just in case!). I used a pen to poke holes in the tails of the balloons and pulled the twine through. I randomly put the balloons on and kind of messed around with them until I liked how it looked. I then used command hooks to put the twine and balloons onto the wall. It was SO easy but time consuming.

We set up some of their birthday presents outside so the kids could enjoy them at the party. They got a trampoline and a roller coaster! Both were huge hits.

Harper and Mason had so much fun hanging out with all their cousins! That was the best part of their day, hands down. We decided to invite our immediate families only. This way it makes it easier on us, financially and mentally, and so they don’t end up with way more toys than they need.

I actually vlogged the party day – you can watch that here. I also vlogged what they got for their birthday – you can see their haul here.

Here is my favorite picture from the party, our fam bam. *heart eyes*

Don’t forget to check out the vlogs I linked above if you want a more in depth look at their party! I know it won’t be long before I’m typing their 3rd birthday party blog!!! Ahh, time slow down please.

I FINALLY filmed my 2020 book haul vlog. I love sh I FINALLY filmed my 2020 book haul vlog. I love sharing what books I loved (or hated) each year with you all. Sadly in 2020 I only read 14 books! Which honestly seems weird since we were all stuck at home? I’m sure you guys know what books stole the show for me though... 😏🖤♾ #hessa #bookhaul

Comment and leave a recommendation for a book to add to my 2021 list!

Just uploaded a “tween” girl gift idea vlog. I Just uploaded a “tween” girl gift idea vlog. It’s everything they got for their birthdays and Christmas in December. It’s honestly such a hard age to buy for but I’m thankful they are at least girls - that makes it easier. Boys are the worst to shop for in my opinion. 😂 I decided to post a little photo of their room because we never really see this area of my house! They have the entire basement to themselves! 💕 #tweengirls
