Birthday party #3

We had a small birthday party at home the night of Grace's birthday with just Grace, Scott, and I. After supper we had left over Dora cupcakes and she opened her presents from us! :)

Birthday Party #2

On the morning of Grace's birthday we woke up at Bulls Bay early and headed to Raleigh so she could make it to school. :) Here's the first photo I snapped of her on her birthday, still in her pj's, in the car!



I stopped at Food Lion on the way there and got some colorful cupcakes for her to take to school and share with her friends. The Dora and Boots toppers I found at Party City and stuck them in before going inside. She also had Dora dessert plates and napkins to share with her friends too!



My big THREE year old!

Papa's birthday!

My Papa had a birthday last month. For his birthday we decided to surprise him by going to Williamston and going to church with him. After church we met more of the family at Deadwood for lunch!

Birthdays

As I'm in the process of planning for Grace's THIRD birthday party (yes I did just say THIRD), I realized that I never posted photos from her 2nd Birthday Party on our blog. So I figured since I'm not a full year behind yet, why not go ahead and post them? :)

Grace went through a Toy Story phase. She isn't really into Toy Story much anymore. I can't remember the last time she watched one of the Toy Story movies. But there for a while she was all about Woody and Jessy! I'm not a huge fan of things being plastered with a certain character, especially birthday parties, so we decided to go with a cowgirl-ish theme and throw a little bit of Jessie in as we could.



Jessie Invitation: Etsy Shop - 3boysstationary, I can't find their shop on etsy anymore. :(

Cake: Idea found here, Cake made by- Your Perfect Cake out of Greenville, NC
Happy Birthday Banner: Esty shop- Cardboard Sheek
Circle Toy Story Character Tags tied to bags: Esty shop - Little Things Creations
Favor Buckets consisted of more character items: bubbles, mini frisbees, stickers, & a pack of toy story gummies

Grace's cousin Lilley is 5 months older than her. Lilley had a pink barnyard theme party for her birthday and we were able to borrow lots of things from her like the wooden baskets, hay bales & metal buckets.

To go along with our horse theme, we have some friends that have horses and they were SO kind to let us borrow one for the afternoon, along with a donkey. We set them up on the lot across the street and the children got to ride on the horse and pet the donkey.

Daddy with his Cowgirls...

Such a fun party! I think we're going to go back to water/fish theme for her 3rd birthday, but I'm sure that could change within the next few weeks, we'll see.
