Layla's Birthday

Wow, I can't believe Layla is 3. Didn't we just celebrate her birthday?! I didn't realize until today how FAST last year went. :(

Since we stayed home for Xmas this year, we also got to celebrate L's bday at home. It was so much FUN to have her friends over to play.

 We started the party off right by jumping in the bounce house. It was a huge hit!

After eating pizza we busted out some hot air balloon cookies for the kids to decorate. They had so much fun decorating (and eating) the cookies with icing and sprinkles. I'm pretty sure every single one of our friends hates me for the sugar high I sent their kids home with. LOL

After working hard on the cookies it was time to sing "happy birthday". As usual Layla didn't care for all the attention. She was fine during the song but as soon as it was time to blow out the candle (which we've practiced) she didn't want to do it. So Mommy and Daddy helped her out.

She did eat the icing this year! 

We basically hung out at home all day after her party.

Then opened gifts! She was so excited to get another playhouse from Gma and Gpa "U"

Opening presents can be a little exhausting.

She got a birthday Barbie from Aunt Nicole and Uncle Ben. 

And Hungry Hungry Hippo from Uncle Brock and Aunt Jessie. 

And one of her favorite gifts, a Tinker Bell doll! Good job Aunt Ash and Uncle Eric! 

Tonight at dinner she had another cupcake. That makes 3 cupcakes, icing, a cookie and a chicken nugget as her meals today. Here is a video of the aftermath. She couldn't even form a legitimate sentence.

Layla had such a great day. I'm so glad we could have her friends over, thanks to everyone that came today and made Layla's 3rd birthday a day we won't forget! ;o)

PS- I think Layla has every toy known to man. On Christmas night she started pouting before bed and told Bryan she was upset because "she didn't get a TV for her room". So heads up for next year everyone. LOL! Just kidding, she's not getting a TV in her room for a loooooong time.
