Curious George 2nd birthday party

It's monkey business.  I told you I would share all the past birthday parties we've had for the kids, so up this week is a flashback to the year 2008 when my oldest son turned two!  To celebrate we took inspiration from his favorite book by Margaret and H.A. Rey: The Complete Adventures of Curious George . For colors, we chose all primary colors like red, green, and blue plus yellow.

I found Curious George party hats at Party City.

I made his cake and simply found a little Curious George figurine to add to the top, plus candy letters.

The morning brunch consisted of what other than bananas, fruit, muffins, and coconut cake..you know, things you find in a jungle.

Here's my birthday boy having his cake and playing with his monkey. :)

Daddy Joe and friend Scott enjoying the coconut cake.

I'm pretty sure my son is making a monkey face here while opening gifts.

Our small family at the time. It's nice looking back at these photos and realizing just how much our house and family have changed since then.

The after party outside finger painting on the back deck. Look at that lawn in the background! That's what we're now trying to achieve outside.

Hope this gave you some ideas for a Curious George party. Oooh Oooh Oooh Ah Ah!
