Here are the girls on their big day! We can't believe they are three already. They had a great time on their big day and kept saying, "It's MY birthday!" It is fun to be to an age where they actually get and can verbalize that it is a special day.
We tried to keep the food simple to minimize the crazy. PB & J sandwiches, egg salad sandwiches, Annie's bunny crackers, strawberries, cupcakes, and rice krispie treats. Even with that simplicity, we were boiling eggs like mad, slapping on PB & J, and dunking newly frosted cupcakes into a vat of jelly beans just minutes before guests were arriving.
This was the BEST part! The kids were so excited!!! Due to some advice I had read online about an Easter theme birthday party, I assigned each kid a color of egg (and also wrote their name on that color) so all the kids would have a chance to find quite a few eggs. Thankfully, we also had a beautiful day - hunting with 16 children in our 1500 sq. ft. house would have been...madness!
The girls LOVED all their presents and were so excited to see what was in each brightly wrapped package. We've been playing new games, stamping, coloring, and keeping busy with their new acquisitions. These nightgowns were also one of their presents...they've been very popular...we've worn them every night...they need a wash!
Stella enjoyed all the extra holding and attention she received from her godparents and grandma. She could barely each lunch since there were so many busy bodies to watch running around!
Thanks so much to my friend, Angie, who took this picture of me and the girls. You always forget in the moment to take enough pictures. She sent me several of the ones you see on this post!
I LOVE this photo - I think I'm going to get it framed. This must be as we were announcing the Easter Egg Hunt. Jasmine was making a beeline for the gate so she didn't miss a minute of the action! : )
