It's time I share part II of the party! If you recall from Part I, I threw a double birthday party for Dax and Nadia just before we left New Hampshire. In keeping with Dax's "Little Explorer" Nursery, I decided on a camping theme. In that post, I shared the trail mix buffet, snack table, favors and activities. Today I'm sharing the smash cake, party pretties, and birthday girl and boy.

Let's just get this out of the way: my party posts tend to be about a year late. Um, sorry about that.  But this one was really cute and maybe worth the wait. Before we moved, I decided to throw Dax an early first birthday party. It kind of killed me that he wasn't officially 1 year old but it was better than skipping it altogether since his birthday would be just a month after our big move. His and Nadia's birthday are just a day apart so I decided to throw a joint party. It also made sense to add a few more friends to the invite list and make it a going away party. So we held a "the DeLangie camp is packing up" + "Our Happy Campers are turning 4 and 1" party.  Here are the details:

I really wanted to write a post about moving that would make me cry (and perhaps you too!).  But I'm really trying to ward off the sentimentality until I'm officially out of New Hampshire.  So instead here are a few pictures of Dax and Nadia's Camping themed pre-birthday bash--more to come later!
