Our little Audrey turned three on Sunday!! Such a big girl full of independence, sweetness, love & fired up spirit! Her party was halloween themed- which I loved planning for. It was a good time for all! I went crazy with the decorations but it was so "spooky"!! Our family, friends, and neighbors came over to help us celebrate in their halloween best!! Be prepared, I took a lot of pics....
Here is the yummy table with cupcakes, #3 cookies (made from Andy's #3 cookie cutter at his 3rd birthday), and the witch cake!
There's Nana helping me get everything together! Thanks for your help mom!!
A close up of Audrey's witch cake- it was so fun to make, though Andy & I disagreed over a few "minor" details. I think it turned adorable!! Audrey loved it!

There's big sister Meagan...OH! I mean princess Belle!!

Our neighbor Gavin painting a pumpkin.

Avery painting- must get that from Marcy!
The Bees (Kennedy & Kaitlyn) painting their pumpkins- very busy!
Our friends from school Cassandra & Reagan..

Morgan- what a great pumpkin!!

There are those bees again- dressed a little cooler. It got really hot, which was a bummer after all the beautiful weather we have had. It was still a great afternoon.



Gavin, Ryder & Madison- too cool!!
Ryder Bud- barely slows down for a pic!
There's the birthday girl & her friend Tanner. She didn't keep her Ariel costume on long enough for a picture but she looked great!
Cassandra was not afraid of Audrey's witch- but the other kiddos were so we had to stop the cacklin' sounds. These two were quite friendly with each other!
Pizza time!


Audrey went straight for the "3" cookies!
I think she likes them!
It cooled off beautifully so no one wanted to come back in for singing & cake, so we brought it outside! Happy Birthday Auds!! She blew them all out!
Hutch on the bouncer- I believe he had a green cupcake...


Opening presents- always fun with everyone "pitching in"!!
Meagan wants to suck your blood!! Eak!!!
She must have bit Audrey because now I have 2 vampires!
The neighbors chillin...I love this gang! Best neighbors ever!!!
I attempted to have a few games since it was pretty warm outside at first but I don't think it went as well as I planned it in my head. The kids were good sports though!! Here is Reagan in the mummy wrap!!
Hutch & Graham "passing the pumpkin"
Carl & Holly- celebrating 10 years this month- still so sweet!!!

So after a wonderful party we attempted to put the party girl in bed, but with 2 cookies, 2 cupcakes, fruit punch, skittles & who knows what else in her tummy she decided she needed to unwind with all her new treasures.....the mother load!!

Thanks for coming to my party- I love you all!!


It is a good thing there birthdays are 6 months apart...Andy & I are pooped!!!
