This past weekend we celebrated our sweet girl's 3rd birthday!
It was a "Jessie" party, from Toy Story 2, but mostly it was a cowgirl party.
Everyone came who was invited, that's 23 adults and 13 children, 10 of them being 3 year old girls.
I always enjoy coming up with these ideas and searching blogs for creative things, but then the work part of putting it all together is time consuming!
I am soooo thankful that the past 3 years my parents have come out to help me (and mostly to celebrate with Chase) and I am pretty sure I couldn't do it without them. They are real do-ers! When one thing gets checked off the list they are ready for the next.
This year we held the party in the morning so we made a brunch menu:
Egg and sausage casserole, bagels and cream cheese, muffins, fruit salad, coffee, punch and cupcakes.
It all seemed to be a hit!
I tried my hand at two games with the kids:
There's a snake in my boot (toss the plastic snake in a bucket) &
Pin the tail on Bullseye...
not such a hit with 3 year olds! Oh well, I tried!
Mostly they enjoyed running around and playing on the playground.
It was a fun morning and I think Chase was honored by all of her friends and grandparents being there.
I'm always amazed at when another year passes. Many regret time moving on, but not me. I am trying to enjoy each day as it comes and then move on to the next! I am thankful that we made it to 3 years and am wrapping my mind around re-starting the baby clock again in a few months!
This is Chase all tuckered out from all the fun:
