I have a lot of pictures to catch up on. Thankfully I found another card reader (didn’t even know I had it!), so I am taking today’s naptime to catch up.
Elyn’s birthday and party
I got to eat lunch with Elyn on her birthday. She is always so funny when I go (I’ve only been 2 times, but she acts so shy).
I made her some cupcakes to share with your friends…that look suspiciously similar to her actual birthday cake…see below.
Me and my big 3-year-old!
That night we had a family dinner, my mom drove up that day and was able to eat with us. We ate in our dining room for the first time. Well, dining room/sewing room/storage room…but whatever.
Elyn had requested a Belle cake for her birthday. I thought, “Well, I can do that.” Well, I could 75% do it. I”m not a professional cake decorator by any stretch of the imagination, but my sweet 3-year-old thought it was awesome. That’s all that matters.
As she was going in to blow out the candles and baby part of her hair ignited. Oops. That is my mom’s hand getting the hair out of the flame.
Yea! She still has most of her hair!!!!!!!
Present time!
After present time she laid down on some paper and had a craft time with my mom…paper Elyn and real Elyn-can you tell the difference?
And her party…lots and lots of pictures!
We had her birthday at “Cake Party”, a local fun place where parents have to do ABSOLUTELY ZERO! When I started thinking about Elyn’s birthday, I knew I needed a low stress party for this year. Our house is in all stages of getting done-with nothing being actually “done”. This was the perfect solution. The only thing I had to do was call and book it. Went to a party here in January so I knew I it was a good place.
At “Cake Party” they have a cute little kitchen that the kids can play at while waiting for the main event.
Boxes and cakes ready to decorate
Goodie bags
Decorating boxes…
First things first, decorating the cookies and cupcakes.
After they finished their cookies and cupcakes, it was on to bigger and better things-the pink cakes!
After they decorate their cakes, we got to sing happy birthday to the special girl…
And then enjoying their desserts…
Present time-again!
Elyn had such a great birthday!!!!! On the way home, she got a hold of a stamper and enjoyed using it on her face…silly 3-year-old!!!!

Yeah for pictures! Now we just need some of the house...just kidding! That sounds like a really neat place to have a party...will have to look and see if we have something like that here for next year's parties. I love the kind of parties were parents don't have to do much...well at least for parties I am in charge of. Glad things went well.
What a fun party! I almost didn't recognize Elyn in her birthday pictures with her hair down, I'm so used to seeing her with a bow! What a precious 3 year old you have!
