After months of hearing Elyse say, "A booboon party! Won't that be fun?!?!" the big day was finally here. This year, Elyse's birthday party was at a local frozen yogurt shop called Ice It. Frozen yogurt and balloons are two of her favorite things so it was very fitting for the occasion. And of course, there were lots of balloons!
(I realize this is an exorbitant amount of pictures, but the sole purpose of this blog is for me to document their lives and special memories. It is my scrap book.)

Bryn sat with Papa and got to eat her own cup of imaginary frozen yogurt.
Elyse told me that she wanted princess games at her party but since we were in an eatery, the kids did princess crafts instead.
Definitely my daughter! The other little ones were modest with their jewels. Not Elyse. There was very little space left on her tiara that wasn't sparkly.

Baby Bryn wants a crown like the big girls!
Eve made Bryn a special (and very symmetrical) little crown.

While the girls were decorating their tiaras, the boys built pirate ships.

Birthday Princess!
All hail Queen Bryn!
Grandma
Nathan is always so cuddly and my mom took full advantage of his snuggles.
Another snuggly baby.
Cake time!
Every year, Elyse sings Happy Birthday to herself.
This year she was able to blow out the candles on her own... even though Daddy tried to help.
Yay!
Haileigh, Cole and Elyse
The tiara might be a little big.
As Elyse opened gifts, she'd pull the tissue paper from the bags and fling it in the air over her head.
A girl can never have too many princess gowns!
Elyse is one of the only 3 year olds I know that stops to look at the cards.
Is this shindig over yet?
Back at home with her balloons.
She immediately wanted to wear the new princess dress and all of her sparkly jewelry.
She's hardly taken them off since.
Cake on her birthday.
We were so happy to have Mimi here to celebrate with us.
Happy birthday to the sweetest, most beautiful, sensitive, loving, energetic 3 year old I know. We love you to the moon and back.
Thanks for posting all of the photos. I love that you put up a ton of them. Makes me happy. :) I can't get over how big Cole is!!! And Haileigh too. It's been too long since we've seen them. My all time favorite photo of your family is that last one. I miss you guys!
