Party Animal
She's finally 3. And we spent 2 weeks celebrating.
First we partied at my parent's house. Camille had made these fun BINGO cards and put one on each person's plate.
With conversation hearts as place holders, we had a mean game of Vday bingo while waiting for dinner to start.
Guess who won with a blackout card? Yep. I'm amazing at non-skilled games.
Meredith was in town from BYU-I for the weekend. Her birthday is the week before Lucy's, so here are the two birthday girls:
Token group shot. Casey and Eric's faces are makin me laugh.
Lucy loved opening presents this year. She's starting to catch on and was thrilled with a box of Legos....
and this cool magnetic paper doll from Gram and Grandpa. Really fun!
And a night in the OC would never be complete without some silly games (a great round of Spaz Ball - a Brett/Casey game)....
and some awesome dancing:
My mom turns on Jock Jams or Yo Gabba Gabba songs and the kids go crazy:
They even jump off the coffee table (which is allowed and often encouraged):
--------------------------------------------------
The next Sunday, on Lucy's actual birthday, we headed to Casey's parent's house.
We read books with Grandpa:
Owen climbed on anything he could find:
and Lucy opened more presents! Grandma Willard has a tradition to give the girls American Girl bitty babies when they turn 3. So this was Lucy's year.
Though Casey may have had more fun dressing her than Lucy did:
And from us, I made a little bed/basket for her baby. For more info see my sewing blog here.
Bitty baby fits perfectly!
We finished off the night with yummy Chocolate Marshmallow cake (my mom's delicious recipe which I'll be posting soon). Happy Birthday Lucy! Can't wait to see what the next year brings.
