The Triplets of Fernwood: Happy Birthday!

The trio turned two earlier in the week and we had our party this weekend to celebrate. It's been alot of planning and last minute preparations but it ended up being a fun time for all. We didn't do anything special on their actual birthday - August 7th and I didn't end up getting my first choice of theme - which was to have a barnyard animal theme with the Turkey Hill cow making an appearance, but there's always next year for that. I ended up with my original theme which was The Very Hungry Caterpillar. I've always liked this book and the babies do too. I can't really say that they love it because it's not a book that we read over and over again, they mostly like to count the fruit and to stick their fingers through the holes in the pages. I like the book. I think I was read this book as a child and I remember it fondly. I don't recall alot of other Eric Carle books, but this one was special.
I first got the idea after seeing a fellow triplet MoM do this theme for their trio's First birthday party and saw all the cute decorations and snacks that can be done just based on the book. So since then, I'd been checking out others' sites and pinterest for ideas on what I could do. Here's what I came up with and how our day went.
