Running like a lady to get the bottle in the field. Uncle Kyle launched bottle rockets for entertainment and practice. He sells them on e-bay too! The kids and adults loved it.
Opening presents. Look at that pile of wonderful gifts. So many pretty dresses, clothes, instruments, games, babies, books a kite, bubbles, and more!
Taking a bite of the princess cake. When Elli saw it upon returning from a birthday outing with Aunt Leah, she said, "Oh mommy, it is beautiful!"
Posing after her nap, ready for her party. We ordered this Cinderella princess dress and our friend embroidered the number 3 along the bottom. Elli loved it to say the least!
Marble painting with friends at the party. Thanks Aunt Heather for the help and Gary for engineering the drying rack:)
Elli wanting to help me ice the cake and cupcakes. They had glass slippers and princess stamps. She really just wanted to lick the icing, but it was her party. Look at that little finger getting ready to swipe!It was a great warm day on April 18th. Her party was very fun. The day started with Elli having hiccups, but she told me she had the "bless yous." Then she went to Build a Bear with Aunt Leah to make a pink teddy bear look like a ballerina, which she named Taylor. She actually took a nap when she got home, but, when she woke up, she was ready to PARTY! My sweet girl cried like nothing I have seen for a while when it was bedtime at 10:30. Poor thing said she missed her party. Thank you family and friends for making this party special for Elli and me!
