This year we held Reidy's Birthday party at the Mississippi Agricultural Museum. Of all the birthday parties I have thrown for the boys (and there have been a few!!) this by far was my very favorite. That's not to say Reid cooperated and rode the ponies, but it was the perfect place to celebrate our little boy turning two!
Our guests waiting for the ponies to be saddled.
OH what promise! We thought for sure that Reid was going to love riding the ponies. Here he is eagerly pointing to the pony he wanted to ride (or so we thought).
So eager, he tried to scale the fence.
The beautiful Morgan children. 
So cute I had to post it again. (Besides, pictures of Reid smiling were few and far between)
Okay, first let me start by explaining Mr. Jerry. If you're wondering about the striped pants he is wearing, and you think you might know why he is wearing the striped pants, the answer is yes--he is wearing the striped pants for the reason you think he is. When he is not at the "county facility", Mr. Jerry works at the Ag Museum and hosts the parties. I was a little thrown off at first when he introduced himself and told me he would be helping me with the party. But let me just tell you, he was as much of a reason for the party being a success as the place itself. He was absolutely wonderful with the children and as nice as nice could be!! I'm sending out a call to Haley this week for a pardon!Anyway, here is Mr. Jerry trying to convince Reidy to ride "Pebbles".
So far so good....
Yeah, not havin' it! Two seconds later Reidy had a fit and I was called in to come fetch him.
Oh well, it will give his guests more opportunities to ride. (Of course, all I'm thinking about are the cute pictures we will be missing out on!!)
Little Miss Ellen couldn't keep off of the ponies. She loved them. A natural beauty and a natural born rider!
Jake saddling up!
Ride 'em Jake!!
Our guests!
Cousin Blake at his first birthday party. He was semi-amused......no, not really!
Poor little Reidy. He stuck pretty close to his Daddy through out the party.
Mr. Jerry getting the train ready for a ride around the museum and a stop at the Carousel.
Gee Reid, try to contain your enthusiasm-will ya!
The Carousel!
I think we finally found something Reidy liked!!

Party Favors.
Reidy's cake turned out sooo precious! This is another Dream Cakes cake and not only was it cute as can be, it was moist and delicious too!!
Complete with a little mouse peeking out of the hay loft!
I opted to make the cupcakes this year. I thought they turned out pretty good. I had to search the world over to find farm animals for toppers. They just don't make toys like this anymore.

After we had cake, most-if not all of the children, were green!
After a fun filled day at the Ag, Reidy was tuckered out!
Right before we left, he got his second wind to eat some Cheese Puffs.
We opened his gifts the next day on his actual birthday. He got some of the cutest things!!

The place was perfect, the weather was perfect, and mostly the company was perfect. I better get crackin' if I want to figure out how to top this years party when Reidy turns 3!
