Jane's Third Birthday Party

Jane went through several outfit changes the day of her party but all of the pics you see here are actually from the same day. :)

Jane started with her birthday dress which had a beach umbrella and flip flops on it to match her beach theme.

Here she is greeting her friend Cooper.

Pretty soon the kids were ready to get on their swimsuits and go on the water slide. Jane and Jennifer look ready don't they?

Here is Christian and Noel (brother and sister). Cute huh?

The kids had fun on the water slide I think.

Can you believe little Sophia here is only one!?! She was hanging with the big kids (and holding her own I might add!).

Here are some of the moms supervising (Suzanne, Janet, Jessica and Tracie).

After water slide fun we had hotdogs and chips and banana pudding and fruit. Here are some of the boys enjoying lunch. That is Jake, Cooper, Drew and Ben.

After lunch we had cake...

Of course Jane couldn't wait to open up her presents. She got so many great things! Here she is with her Pops- he is reading the electronic book he bought for her.

This is Jane thanking her Great Grandmaw (Meemaw Georgie) who got her a bag full of wonderful things including dinosaurs which Jane is really into right now.

The kids had a lot of fun playing with the elephant butterfly blowing game Jane got from Elizabeth and Ben!

Here the girls are all playing with Jane's new laptop. FINALLY she has her own laptop like Mommy and Daddy ;)

Even later we went out to hit the pinata.

This is actually Jane's first time trying to hit a pinata because even though we have been to other parties with pinatas before she was too shy or scared to try. Even this time it was more Maw Maw than Jane I'm afraid.

Leslie broke it open.

Then it was a candy free for all!

Here are some pics from throughout the day...

This is Nikki, Jay's stepmom and Jill. Notice the water slide down in the background? At one point during the party we blew a fuse and had to do something with the breaker (I don't know what so don't ask! but whatever happened Jay and his dad and mine got it up and running again).

This is my best friend from high school, Erin, and her awesome brood: Leslie, David, Kristen and Lauren.

We haven't seen each other in more than a year or two so it was a real treat having them there!

Paw Paw and his "Paw Paw girl".

Here is Jacob and baby Elise, so cute!

Jane and her BFF

Jane LOVED the doctor kit she got from Erin and Sophia.

After a LONG day Jill relaxed here with Meemaw Georgie and eventually crashed. Looks comfortable huh?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY my big three year old!
