My Birthday

Once you have kids your birthdays are very different than they used to be.  I've always been a big birthday person and love celebrating as long as possible.  :)  Now we usually just get together with family or go to dinner and that's just fine with me!
 
Before we met Lainey and Pops for dinner Hannah helped me open my presents from her and Austin.
 
 
POPS!!

 
She loves her Pops!

 
Me and my girl

 
Lainey, Pops and Hannah

 
The three of us
 
 
What a typical picture with Hannah looks like.  :)

 
She looks like she was flying in Lainey's arms.  Ha

 
Ice cream!  Yummy

It was a great birthday!

Leah & Haley's Birthday Party

August is "birthday month" for our family.  Tracy, Leah and Hannah all have August birthdays and Haley's bday is at the very end of July so we're busy with birthday fun!  Haley and Leah had the cutest girly birthday party!
 
Hannah and Pops ready to get their princess on.  :)
 
 
This little cottage has been around for a really long time and they know what they're doing!

 
The girls arrived and got to go to the dressing room where they could each pick out a princess dress to wear for the party.

 
This girl right here was in princess heaven!
 
 
She wanted to pose in front of the beautiful carriage. 
 
 
Their sweet tea party set up

 
Each girl got her finger nails painted

 
And got glitter on their faces, hair and arms.

 
Leah loves Hannah  :)

 
So does Mommy


 
Pops getting some love from his oldest grand daughter

 
Cousins!  Haley is so funny

 
Then all the little girls had a fashion show!  It was adorable.  Hannah went first.



 
Everyone clapped for her and she was so proud.  Then she struck a pose so they could take a picture for her to take home in the picture frame they'd each make later.

 
Haley's turn!

 
The birthday girls and their parents

 
All the pretty princesses

 
After the fashion show they each got to decorate their own cupcake


 
Happy birthday to you!

 
And then Hannah's favorite part....eating the cupcake

 
Drinking out of a real tea cup is so much fun

 
Then they got princess story time!

 
And decorated the picture frames to go with their fashion show pictures 

 
Present time!  These people know what they're doing after so many years.  They laid down a feather boa and told all the girls they couldn't go past the boa while Leah and Haley were opening their gifts.  Genius.  No chaos of every little girl trying to open the presents.

 
It was such a great party!  I really wish they had this place near our house because Hannah would definitely be having her party there next year if they did!
 
Happy birthday to our sweet nieces!  They are so different and both so funny!  It is so much fun watching them grow up.

Hannah's 3rd Birthday Party

This year for Hannah's birthday party we went a totally different way than the previous years.  For her 1st and 2nd birthdays we had her party at my parents house and then our house.  The parties were so much fun but SO much work for me!!  This year since she's older I decided on a bounce house place to have her party at and it was the way to go!!  I don't know if I'll ever be going back to an at home party again!  Ha.  Everything was so easy and all of the kids had a blast! 
 
She wanted a princess themed party (of course) with mainly Ariel as the focus.
 
 
Hannah and her friends "watching" the rules video before running loose in their own bounce room.

 
Austin and Rachel

 
The best family picture we could get.  This girl was too excited to sit still!

 
Rachel, Dean, Sayge, Brodie and Beckett came to town just to celebrate with the birthday girl

 
Me and Katie

 
Lainey and Pops with the bday girl (again, too excited for pictures)

 
Big kids got to slide too!

 
Avery and Hannah
 
 
Payden and Hannah.  They love Hannah!

 
Sweaty girl!  She went NON STOP!  This picture cracks me up, it is SO Hannah!

 
Brodie, Avery, Leah and Hannah taking a quick break from all the craziness

 
Sliding!  Leah and Hannah

 
After about an hour and a half of bouncing around like wild monkeys it was time for cake and presents!

 
Blowing out her candles!  I have no idea why she has a napkin on her head.  Ha.  She's silly.



 
Ready for some cake!


 
Present time!  Girl got tons of great presents!

 
When I see pictures of Hannah opening presents it always makes me laugh because I'm clearly excited about her gifts.  Haha.  Seriously, there are pictures just like this one for every gift opening holiday with Hannah.

 
Giving Emma some loving

 
Cousins

 
The Townsend side of the fam.  Papa was still out of town for the party so he's not there

 
Hannah with all her cousins!
