Birthday Party Success!

Gracie's 3rd birthday party was a blast. Not only did almost everyone we invited (with the exception of her daycare friend Neva!) show up, we had a full house of overnight guests (including Grandma & Grandpa), but we also had the most wonderful summer-like weather you can imagine.

My mom, (thank you so much!) and the rest of the ladies in the house were fabulous with helping make things happen in the kitchen. I had my hands full with trying to get together the cupcakes, the cheese platter, the fruit platter and much, much more... I could not have done it without them. My sister's boyfriend Brian put together this fabulous cupcake tree I found at Tar-get, love that store. And I had gone bonkers buying pretty much anything with Backyardigans theme on eBay. Hence the balloons, party hats, cupcake decorations, plates, napkins, party favors, kites and much more...

The kids had a blast running through the fields chasing Grace's new John Deere four wheeler, playing ball, opening the pinata, eating candy and cupcakes (Thanks Carly, the icing was a hit!), painting canvases from Treasury of Memories, flying kites and just being kids. What a great party...
