Seoul picked the theme weeks ago. Here is how the conversation went:
Daddy: Seoul, your birthday is coming up. What kind of cake do you want?
Seoul: yellow
Daddy: What kind of cake is yellow?
Seoul: Spongebob Squarepants
And so the madness began...
Kelley spoiled his little girl by getting tons of Spongebob stuff... lots and lots... which she LOVES. Then, the highlight: Spongebob came to visit! [Our friend Amy knew of a FANTASTIC Spongebob costume that we borrowed. OH MY!]
Seoul had 6 little friends (plus some baby siblings) come over for her friend birthday party.
Kids fishing for Spongebob trinkets (sorry, didn't get many photos of this activity).
Then Spongebob made his guest appearance. The reaction? Half the kids started crying and half thought it was super cool. The parents laughed and enjoyed the chaos. Unfortunately Seoul was one of the crying children, trying to crawl over me into the wall to get away. However, when we stood by Spongebob for a photo op, she said "hi dad" and touched his hand. Once she heard his voice she was fine... but as soon as she was out of hearing range she was scared all over again and told me to tell Spongebob to "go outside!".
{Now she sees the costume in the garage and says "Spongebob scary. Daddy in box." - I've heard the narration of her birthday many times.}

To keep it simple we had yellow cupcakes with yellow frosting, garnished with Spongebob fruit snacks. Then Seoul opened all the fun presents - she is a lucky girl to have generous friends!
Our attempt at a group photo... Halzie didn't want to sit with the kids.
Dad spoils his Princess Petunia.
That afternoon we had a family party. This was much simpler... each person wrote a memory of Seoul on a card to put in her keepsake book. I made a Spongebob cake, but got lazy and left off the arms & legs. Kelley attempted to make crabby patties, but didn't finish dipping the colored chocolate sections. They are delicious the way they are, though! {Seoul got those Spongebob glasses from one of Kelley's friends - she thought it was a hoot to pass them around and have people try them on}. Then on to more present opening... Seoul likes to do it all herself and takes her time. Fun new toys and clothes - thanks family!
HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY PRINCESS!

What a fun day for us and even more for Seoul! Two parties! Two cakes! Two sets of presents! Oh, despite the limb-less spongebob, the cake looks awesome!
