You're Invited

to Emma's 3rd Birthday Party! Get ready for a long post and lots of fun! If you are looking for the finished product of the rainbow cake, you are in the right place.

We started with Aunt Lindy's dessert on Friday night. She had a birthday in August, so this was her birthday dessert. With her new initials of course!
Emma opened a few gifts before her party. I made her a book called, "Mommy's Having a Baby." She got a big sister shirt from me too.
Aunt Lindy made Emma this dollhouse. Incredible. Don't you want to be three?
How does our little girl go from looking like this to...
looking like this? It all happened in just three short and very fun years :)
Jumping away with Mama C.
Her party was a tribute to Tigger.
I made homemade play dough for party favors.
They got the recipe and a cookie cutter to take home too.
Aunt Ashley did sidewalk art for us.
And a hopscotch too.
Aren't her pj's cute?
She had so much fun jumping!
Grand-dad and Nana came to the party too. All three of these guys JUMPED!
Emma with her Daddy.
Just Emma and me.
We tried to get a family photo.
That task takes lots of effort.
Emma with her Mama C.
This one made me laugh.
Roughhousing with her Daddy. This is what they do best. Trust me.
Her cake!
Aunt Lindy getting some pineapple orange banana punch.
The TIGGER bounce house...so fun!
I made the banner for her party.
Hopscotching away...
Uncle Dill helped with all of the food. I am sure that others of you did too....thanks to everybody!
Baby Quinn...oh so sweet!
Some of the party gang. To get them ALL in a photo...impossible!
Just before we attempted to light the candles...
Emma was not impressed with everyone's singing. Nor did she want to blow out her candles.
The first slice of the cake! The cake was twice as tall as a regular cake...I couldn't even finish my piece. It was SO sweet!
A sneak peak inside...
Now, that is what I call a cake. I was SO glad that it didn't flop :)
There wasn't much left.
The kiddos continued to chalk it up.
Emma ate her sour licorice. So did all of the pregnant ladies at the party, which was 90% of us :) Thanks Aunt Marg!
Papa C. came too. They were watching Caillou.
And, Aunt Lindy played with Emma upstairs.
All in all, it was a super weekend. I can't believe our little girl is three! Thanks to everybody who came. We were so glad that you were there. I am gone for now...this is one exhausted pregnant girl!
