For Shelby's 3rd birthday--yes THIRD--We had family and a few friends over. (This was a few weeks ago, but I wasn't blogging then and thought this was DEFINITELY blog worthy;) ) The night before, Mom, Cheyenne, and Kenny came over and us girls made Shelby's birthday cake. It was a lot of fun!
During the party, Leah hung out with Grandaddy Bill and Dad.
When everybody arrived, we sang happy birthday and had cake! Shelby was a little bit shy when we sang to her this year, totally opposite from last year!
Shelby had a great time, and got lots of things!! I didn't get many pictures of opening presents, but here are some.
And then Shelby and her friend Reigan "pulled" the pinata. This pinata was so cool! Instead of hitting it, you pull the strings on it and only one of the strings releases all of the candy! Perfect for a 3 yr olds party!
After the party we took family photos with Guys family and My family.

After the party Shelby was ready to change into her new nightgown and slippers and crash-her party wore her out!
I rocked her to sleep right after we took these pictures, which I don't do very often anymore since we've had Leah. By the time she fell asleep I was balling. I've cried every year on her birthday, but this year hit me really hard. As I looked at her sweet little face, I replayed the last three years. They have gone by so fast! I know I will soon miss these crazy and hectic days, just like I sometimes miss the crazy and hectic days with her as a 1 year old in Sweetwater. Time sure does get away from us...
On her real birthday, February 9, we went to town and ate pizza with Guy Mom and Dad, and then went to Dairy Queen for ice cream. I have to say that the Chocolate Extreme Blizzard is TO DIE FOR! I didn't get any pictures, but here is one of her that morning, and ready for church Wed night.
That's all for now. I've got some more things to blog about, but won't bore you again until tomorrow!
Looks like a GREAT 3rd birthday!! (Sure wish Addi and I could have been there for all the fun!!)
ReplyDeletePS-Where did you find that pinata?? So neat...Perfect for little ones!!
Thanks! Found the pinata at Card and Party Factory, but the only one I saw like it was the ladybug...which was perfect for our theme. They might have more though! :)
