Her Third Birthday Party

I wanted to post some pictures from the latest birthday party in our family. My oldest turns 3 on the 17th but we had her party this past Saturday. Jenny's mom made the cake for us and it was perfect. My oldest had asked for a Bob & Larry cake (Veggie Tales). She was so excited when she saw the cake. Thank you, Vicki, for making my oldest so happy!!:) Here is the cake and my oldest blowing out the candles.



Jenny's mom also sent us home the scraps from when the cake was made as well as all of the extra icing. (I was pretty excited about all the icing!) Like mother, like daughter, I guess...




The only thing she asked us for was a trampoline. We figured it would be a good gift that both girls could enjoy and would last a long time. They have enjoyed it immensely. Here is a picture of Jenny jumping with my oldest and her 2 kids.



On another note, we got a little bit of snow in our neck of the woods this past weekend. Unlike much of the country that got inches and inches of snow, we got just enough to make a small snowman and throw a few snowballs. Here are some pictures my dad took of their house:



(This is my youngest with her great-grandfather.)

I added this picture only because it makes me laugh. My oldest decided she needed a diaper on (like her sister), her great-grandfather's hat and her great-grandmother's purse.

It was a great day!

Hey Mandalyn,
I'm glad I'm not the only one who will spuradically disappear from the blogging scene and then reappear once in a while. Ha ha ha. Hope all is well!
