Purple Puppy Party

What's a Purple Puppy Party you ask? Well as Hannah says "I like Purple and I like Puppies." Simple enough. Hannah chose her own birthday theme this year and decided to put two of her favorite things together in one unique party. Between the holidays, Uncle Jeff's wedding and still being sleep deprived from a newborn, we decided to go a little more low key this year. Although at the end of the day, I was still wiped out. Hannah kicked off her morning with a special pink birthday donut from daddy. This was only after she ran into my room at 6 am jumped on the bed and said "Mommy I'm Three." After breakfast, she was very excited to help mommy in the kitchen and loved making the cupcakes and cake. She also got her new roller coaster from mommy and daddy. At 10 we had a party with friends at the park (Hannah calls it New Park) and it's her favorite. The kids played and daddy brought McDonalds for all at lunch. Hannah could not wait for everyone to sing to her. She was so excited for that part and after she blew out the candle said "Thank you mommy." Later when I asked her what the best part of her day was she said "Blowing out the candles." Hannah is so lucky to have a little group of friends. I love watching all the kids grow up together.

After the park we came home for nap and then the grandparents came over for dinner. Hannah requested Mac N Cheese. I may have also made burgers and salad for the adults. Hannah was more then spoiled by the grandparents, however again her favorite part was not the gifts, but blowing out the candle. I even had to add more candles. Tim and I both commented that it was nice that guests could get a little more quality time with the birthday girl since we made the groups smaller. Hannah had a wonderful day and I am still in shock my baby girl is 3! Feels like yesterday she entered the world.
