I had so much fun planning this party! We had Kentucky bacon, lettuce & tomato sandwiches, derby pies, tomatoes stuffed with grits and of course mint juleps! How can you celebrate a 2nd Birthday without bourbon? My husband organized the betting and my step-sister was thrilled to be the big winner. Making the dessert table was my favorite part of the planning. Forrest helped make the cookies and I was really pleased with how the cake turned out. But best of all was that Forrest had so much fun! He loved all his treats, ate way too much cake and played with all his best buddies. I was sure that he was going to wear the jockey outfit for 5 minutes and want to take it off, but he really liked all the attention he got in it and kept it on the whole day. Although he enjoyed looking like a jockey, he refused to ride the adorable pony. "Too scary!" He did enjoy petting him, so all in all it was a great day!
