Happy 3rd Birthday!

Well, the Tinkerbell party is over and mommy is happy about that! How can one VERY SIMPLE party be so much work? Shelly enjoyed it though she was a bit overwhelmed and does get shy around so many people. We also had to wake her up from her nap for the party. Why won't she nap long on the afternoons I have to work from home? LOL

This is her with Nana and Papa (still waking up)

still waking up before the party...

Opening presents was crazy. All of the kids wanted to "help". Shelly opened the cards later. Our book lover got 14 new books!! She has to sleep with like 10 Golden Books stacked next to her in bed or she screams. She carries her books with her right when she wakes up to the couch. It really is funny but at the same time I love it as I am a reader :)

Betty's Cake and Nana Plaster's homemade oreo ice-cream were a hit!

Eating with cousin Tristan. And Daddy cut some big pieces and cake. We didn't have many leftovers :)

The kids loved her blow-up jumpy "castle" as she calls it in the basement. I think some of the kids will convince their parents to come play at our house so they can jump some more!

We ended the evening at Pizza King where Aunt Tara spent about $10 in quarters getting every kid there what they wanted from a gumball toy machine! She had to keep going until the right toy came out. It was cute.

Thank you everyone who came and for giving Shelly such a wonderful party! She loves her new books, clothes, and toys.
