Party #3

On Saturday, we celebrated Lula's 3rd birthday by having a little bash with family!

Here she is in her birthday crown made by her aunt Kodie!

Even though the party was in the evening, it was still extremely hot and humid outside.  But, I think everyone still had fun.

We had a Strawberry shortcake theme per Lula's request.

My parents were gracious to let us have the party in their giant yard.  It was perfect for lots of kiddos!

I made some strawberry cupcakes...

And vanilla with green buttercream frosting. Yum.

We used Lula's vintage strawberry shortcake sheet for the table cloth

...threw some balloons in the trees...

...along with some ruffled streamers that took about 5 minutes to whip up...

She loved it!

And thanks Lolly for making Lula and Jane's adorable matching dresses

We love that pipsqueak fabric!

We decided to do a simple craft for all the kids.

They had fun decorating sunglasses

It was a good activity for the wide variety of ages that were there

And of course we had to have a game.  Reid planned this part.

He decided to have a "strawberry toss"

So, those are supposed to be strawberries (and a few lemons)

The kids had to toss them back and forth without breaking them.  

Lula and her cousin Vivi didn't have much success, but it was cute!

But then with the extra water balloons....

were thrown at uncle Reid!

get ready...

Go!

We had so much fun celebrating Lula's day with our family!  (about 6 cousins were unable to make it...we missed you!)
