The party

Bria had an amazing 3rd birthday party. It was last Sunday evening and we had it at a recreation center that is right down the road from our house. I'm so happy we had it there, they had tons of toys and climbing structures for the kids to play on and I think everyone had a blast, at least we did :) I barely saw Bria the entire time, she was having so much fun running around with her family and friends. Reese was passed around the whole time so I had both my hands free, it was such a change!

My cousin Lanie was awesome enough to come over the day before and help me make some goodies for the party. My favorite were the Preztel Buttons:

Stick a Hershy kiss on square preztels, bake for 3 minutes then stick an M&M on top. So easy and soooo good!

Some of the cupcakes, I had fun decorating them.

I was so happy that Bria took a good nap the day of her party, it meant she would be in a good mood. Well, she's 3 so nothing is a definite, but she was in a good mood.

Abby, Kailey, Bristol, Cassidy, and Noah

The older girls (Abby, Jaidyn, Cassidy, Kailey) were soooo good with all the kids. They ran around and played with them and it was seriously awesome. All of us adults got to talk and chat and eat.

Singing Happy Birthday to herself

She loved singing happy birthday and then blowing out the candles, almost as much as opening presents.

She loves her cupcakes. Fortunately this year went better than last year:

"I want MIIIIIIIILLLLKKKKK!"

A happy 3 year old!

Grandpa David and Grandma Kathie (Brian's Dad and step mom)

These girls are awesome. I met them through a Moms club up here and I don't know what I would do without them. From left, Dehlia, Shaina, Me, Jen, and Amber.

A few of the girls couldn't make it but they were there in spirit.

My cousin Lanie, love her!

Finally it was time to open presents. I couldn't believe how many presents there were, and the girl took her time opening each one :)

I have no idea where Bria gets her facial expressions from.

No clue.

This is now her Rapunzel hair :)

Bria was pooped after all the fun she had, fortunately she got an awesome Tinkerbell pillow from Grandpa David and Grandma Kathie to rest her head on :)

It was such a great party. Bria had a wonderful time and loved having her family and friends there. Birthdays are such a magical time, especially when you're a kid.
