Levi turns 2 with a beautiful farmyard party theme at the family home
Kids love animals! I remember my first born's first birthday party was an animal barnyard theme. My daughter, at that stage, could name every animal, mimic their sounds and behavior and we could never go past an animal touch farm without turning in. We went all out with DIY crafts and figurines and had a blast preparing for this special day. I never really had the chance to put as much effort into a party again as her little brother was well on his way by the time she turned two. What I admire about this theme is how each parent and child have their own interpretation of a barnyard party and this is another extremely creative home party captured by Devin Lester.

"Levi's mom, Shan, put so much effort (once again) into her little boy, Levi's 2nd birthday party celebrations! Many hours went into making decorations, sign boards, photo frames and oh-so-cute egg carton take-home gifts for the kids. An animal touch farm was setup in the family's countryside garden and the kids had so much fun feeding the bunnies, goat and chickens as well as taking pony rides. While the littlies were entertained, moms and dads could relax on the couches and blankets that had been moved out into the garden. It was a fantastic morning and we were spoilt with some beautiful highveld weather!"- Devin Lester
