3 Girls' Birthday Party


To celebrate yours, Brooke's, and Heather's birthdays, we had a party over at Tyler & Emily's. Emily made Brooke's favorite meal...chicken alfredo. It was AMAZING. The food wasn't quite ready when we got there so we all just sat around and talked and watched all the little kids play until it was time to eat.




Here's the 3 birthday girls. If you look in the background, you can see the two little cakes that Emily made for you and Brooke to destroy later. They were decorated so adorable, and that was such a good idea to make smaller cakes for you two to destroy. Thanks, Emily!




It was so cute to see you and Brooke and Andrew play so nice together. All 3 of you sat and played with this farm & barn animals for a good 10 minutes, which is a long time in baby time.




Then after we ate, it was time to open up presents. You loved the wrapping paper. And what are you doing with your hands? Too funny.




I guess you decided you'd had enough of looking at the paper and holding it, so it was time to chew on it.




You got this cute little pink puppy. Aunt Sandy was saying it looked like a pink peptobismal explosion in the corner b/c of all the pink.




I love your little face here. You got this pink My Little Pony, which you loved. That was a fun present, b/c I remember playing with those when I was a little girl.




Then it was time for the cake demolition. Again, I love your face here. You're such a smiley and happy baby.



"Mom, you mean I can can stick my hands in this without getting in trouble? Really?"



Since you and Brooke got to have fun with your cake, Heather wanted to have fun with hers, too. The adults had her cake for dessert, and it was an almond butter cream cake...SO SCRUMPTIOUS!!!



This is Baby Brooke after destroying her cake. You really didn't get that messy. Out of the two of you, I for sure thought you would be the one to go crazy and make a mess. But you were acting all dainty and didn't get too messy with your cake. B/c of the frosting, it looked like Brooke had guacamole all over. It was a lot of fun to watch the two of you, and it made me laugh to look over at 8 adults just completely engrossed in what 2 little babies were doing.




After a few minutes you decided that you had had enough and wanted to get out of the chair and get cleaned up.




Once you were out of the chair, you were happy as a lark and were getting frosting all over me and my hair and my clothes b/c it was smeared all over your hands. And then Tyler was trying to put some on my face, too.





We went upstairs and gave you messy girls a bath. The bath water was so full of cake that when I poured it over your head to rinse out the soap, there were little bits of cake all over in your hair. I guess that's how we can measure what a success the party was...by the bits of cake in your hair.



Here's the two pretty girls all cleaned up and ready for bed. It really was a great party and one I hope you enjoyed, b/c you're never going to get to destroy a cake like that again.

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY
BABY AUTUMN BOTTOM!!!
