Birthday time!!! Sadie Beth so enjoyed celebrating her 3rd birthday with lots of friends. Obviously, both girls felt very excited...Ainsley so much so she decided to run around in her birthday suit.
The weather turned out to be quite precarious on the day of her "outside-water-fun" party - after a week in the 90s, it cooled down and got real windy, but not enough to ruin the fun.
The rain held off after all....a true blessing because there was no backup plan and 10 small children running around our house would have made me have a nervous breakdown.
Watching the kids run around and play on the swing set made us so glad we went ahead with getting a new one. The old one that was in the yard when we moved in wasn't safe to play on anymore.
Owen was one of the lone boys amongst a great big group of girls - he and his family moved to Michigan recently, so now we have quite the squad of girls.
Here's the whole crew!
From left to right: Owen, Reagan, Julianne, Becca, Madison, SB, Morgan, Allison, and Abigayle in the back.
Look at that happy birthday girl! She had such a happy, thankful heart the day of her party. She thanked each of her friends with a hug for the gifts they brought after she opened each one.
And oh, the cake!!! Sadie Beth a long time ago requested a Sesame Street birthday cake with a rainbow on it. Call me lazy, but I'm no cake decorating diva, so I checked Kroger and Walmart to see what they could come up with. Apparently they are very limited in the licensed characters they are allowed to put on a cake. I searched the city for affordable figurines that we could use as cake toppers, but couldn't find anything for less than $25.
I thought we were going to have a Sesame Street cake flop, but Mrs. Anna saved the day! She was so awesome to give so much of her time and energy to make this awesome Zoey cake for my sweet girl. And it was so worth it when we got to see Sadie Beth's ecstatic reaction to her Sesame Street cake.
Ainsley entertained herself at the party by eating some streamers; hence, the blue mouth.

Sadie Beth had so much fun opening up a box full of goodies from Grandma and Grandpa in Oregon. She loved her new dress up clothes!
We wrapped up birthday celebrations with a round of cupcakes at preschool. By this time, I was a little relieved the partying was coming to a close. It's really something to see how much these kiddos have grown up since starting in Mrs. Filbert's class in September.
