Gwen's 2nd birthday party

We had Gwen's official birthday party when we were visiting in NJ the weekend after she turned two.  We thought it would be nice to have it there so that all of our NJ friends and family could gather together.  It is always so difficult to see everyone while we are there.

I didn't do any planning for this party since it was out of state and I was feeling so awful for the two months leading up to the party (morning sickness).  We were having a pool party, so I decided to just go with a very simple party.  It actually turned out really well.  The weather couldn't have been better (sunny, mid to high 80's) and it seemed like everyone had a great time.  My Mom and Step Dad have the perfect backyard for a party like this.
