The Crow's Nest: Party Party Party

We have had a busy weekend celebrating Miss Brooklynn's 3rd Birthday. Yesterday (Saturday) was her big party celebrating with her friends. I finally decided to give in and have it at a jump place - and let me just say - I was so thankful that I did. She invited her friends from her class at school along with some of her other friends and they all had a blast! I never once had to worry about the weather and what would 'Plan B' be for bad weather - b/c I would have needed it yesterday - at least in the morning. It was cold and rainy - but in the end it turned out to be a beautiful sunny day. But it didn't matter - it was all good since it was indoors!

I think in total we had 15 kids come so it was a good turnout. They were so cute running around and playing together. Brooklynn gets so excited to see her friends outside of school. She was sooooo excited that it was finally HER birthday party - she has been to so many in the last couple months and would always ask me if it was her turn...and yesterday - it finally was!!! It was a lot of fun b/c she finally got it this year - she understands it was her day and was all about her.

This was the party room - we did her birthday party in a Pink Mod Monkey Theme....it was really cute - and it was kind of fitting too since the place we had her party at was Monkey Bizness....hahahaha! All of the stuff I ordered online at various websites...I was really happy how it all came together.

The Party Room - the plates & stuff came from Celebrate Express.com

Cake Table

Birthday Cake - I ordered the Cake Topper image off of Ebay and then just ordered a regular white birthday cake from HEB

Party Favor Bags - I ordered customized stickers for the party favor bags

These 2 are Brookie's BFF's from class - Lauren & Dalton - they are who she talks about non-stop...lol! They played hard and were ready for cake & ice cream

These kids were wound up from all the running & jumping - they were so hyper in the party room.....

The Birthday Girl with her cake

Listening to all her friends singing Happy Birthday to her....(she sings that song all the time when she is in bed at home...lol)

Making her wish and blowing out her candles

Time to dig in - notice who she is sitting beside....Dalton of course!!!

Then at the end I got this crazy idea - how fun it would be to get a pic of all her friends together...lol. These are the best we could do - a bunch of 3 year olds sitting still at one time..not an easy task. Some of the kids were busy elsewhere - ha! I took a bunch of these pics and just included a few - its hilarious to look at each kid's expression in each pic...hahahaha!

Afterwards, my friend Sally from work and her daughter Chloe came back to our house to play and hang out. The girls had a blast playing together with all her new toys!

Then today, we celebrated Brookie's bday....again! This time we ate lunch at Grandma & Grandpa's house with the family and opened presents and ate ice cream cake - yummy! We had a nice time and she got lots of fun things.

Just a little excited about her next birthday cake and another round of Happy Birthday!

Making another wish and blowing out her candles

Present time

Enjoying her cold ice cream cake - a little ironic since it was only in the mid 50's today....lol - I planned that one well...hehehehe!

Enjoying her Great Aunt Judy

We tried to get a pic of the (Great) Grandchildren....again - not an easy task. This is the best I got of all of them - I think the others may have been a little luckier...

But I did manage to get a good one of our 3 kiddos....what a fluke! Poor Cannon is still not feeling well - he was melting down pretty quickly by this point...poor boy.
