Maddox’s Monkey Joe Party!

We celebrated Maddox’s 2nd birthday this evening at Monkey Joe’s!!  His birthday is not until the 18th but with little Ryder coming soon, we wanted to go ahead and have it a little earlier!!  This party was just too easy!! We basically just had to show up….the only thing we were allowed to bring was the cake or cupcakes!!  I just have felt like the last few weeks I needed to be planning….but no planning involved with this party!!! Which was perfect for my 9 month pregnant self!!

Everyone had a great time!!  I couldn’t get over how much Maddox was doing by himself.  We took him to Monkey Joe’s back in September and he was intimidated by the whole place…wow….what a difference 9 months makes!!

I just got a new camera and between me and Aunt LaLa taking pictures we took a kazillion, so I couldn’t narrow them down very well so get ready for picture overload!!!

We took him about 30 minutes early so that he could warm up to the place.

He took off to the arcade section and jumped on this driving game.

We finally got him away from the arcade section and put him in the toddler bouncy area!  It didn’t take long until he graduated to the big boy slides!!

Laura made the cupcakes and they were adorable!!  She matched up the Monkey Joe purple perfectly and I love all the toppers she did…they said Maddox, Play, Ball, Truck, M, and some swirls….she really captured who Maddox is at 2!!
