Yesterday my 1st born turned 3 - I can hardly believe it! The first thing she said when she woke up that morning was "I'm not 2 anymore, I'm 3 today!" It's kind of a bummer that it's just a few days after Christmas so we try to make sure it's extra special and doesn't get mushed into Christmas at all. I was running around like a mad woman the day before and day of - getting the tree down, the cake baked, making decorations, and whatever else. We had a cowgirl/Toy Story theme.
My first attempt at covering a cake with fondant. I don't think I did too shabby.
I probably should have taken a picture when all of the food was on there but we had fried chicken, baked beans, corn muffins and dutch oven potatoes (that's all I could think of for a western menu).
My cute mom all ready for the party.
Reese and her cousin Dylan having a balloon fight while we waited for all the guests to arrive.
Reese's friend Brody modeling his party favors. All the kids got a hat, bandanna and sheriff star. I picked up a bunch of these sets after Halloween for really cheap knowing we were having a Toy Story party.
Reese, Dylan and Reese's friend Addi.
Although there were plenty of chairs the Grandmas opted to sit on the floor with the kids.
Reese super excited about her cake. Earlier that day she asked me 10 times if she could open the fridge and look at her cake, and then she would ask if she could show some of her stuffed animals her cake. She was pretty excited about it.
Reese also picked the cake flavors - strawberry and rainbow chip (we also had strawberry ice cream).
Reese giving her Pillow Pet a love! Thanks Grandma!
More and more presents - you would have thought it was Christmas all over again.
After the party she played with every single thing she got! She even painted a few pictures with her new paint set.
Reese's birthday loot (most of it should be pictured - it was scattered all around the house being played with). From Mom and Dad Reese got her very own digital camera, new rain boots, a Rex and Bullseye Figurine, and a Littlest Pet Shop. She was spoiled rotten! Thanks to all those who came and celebrated and to those that couldn't be there thanks for the gifts you sent!
