The anticipation of her birthday party was almost more than she could bare. We talked about it for months and after changing the theme a thousand times, she finally decided on Minnie Mouse when we went to the party store to buy some napkins, plates, and a pinata. Then, after a fluke upset tummy (and some nasty throw up from the birthday girl) the party got pushed back a weekend so she was more than ready on party day. We started out in the backyard with some bbq hot dogs, hamburgers, pasta salad, french fries, fruit, veggies, and a whole table full of desserts and candy. I am pretty sure the little girls sneaked their body weight of treats off the table during set up and guest arrival.
After food we headed out to the front yard for Sam's annual party games. Squirt guns shooting down crepe paper (a bit classier than last year's toilet paper). It was a big hit with both the kids and Dad's once again...
I think his only regret was not getting the bigger squirt guns. In and out of the house for refills was too annoying.
Then it was pinata time. Note to self: three year old girls are not capable of busting a pinata with a foam bat.
I guess it meant they each got plenty of turns to try though.
The thing finally busted open and there was plenty of candy for everyone since I stuffed an entire Costco bag of mixed candy as well as a Costco box of tree top fruit snacks in there.
Daddy helping Bails get the final few stragglers that got stuck inside Minnie.
Then it was back inside the house for some cake. I don't think she cared for everyone singing to her...
or blowing out the candles really since she took off and left me to do it.
She did enjoy opening her presents...
And giving each one the attention that it deserved.
A few hugs for the party guests:
And then the rest of the day was spent running around and playing like crazy. When we finally said goodbye to the last guest we realized that Hazel was hiding behind the treat table, once again sneaking treats.
Who knows how much she managed to eat while we basically let her roam free. The white chocolate truffles appeared to be the biggest hit since there were a lot of empty holders and not very many actual truffles left.
I left Bails on the couch for a second to play with one of her new toys while I ran to get some pajamas. Thirty seconds later I returned to this...
I guess she was tired.
It was a great day celebrating our little 3 year old with some great friends. Love you Miss Bailey.
