Hailey's 3rd Birthday!!!

A few days before her birthday Hailey was lucky enough to get to celebrate with Grandpa and Grandma Weber. They came all the way from Idaho to visit with us for about 9 days, and the kids had a blast with them. Stay tuned for a future post about that visit.
Hailey opening her quite, shall we say unique gift...Good job Grandma!

It was a huge hit...Though it caused some of Hailey and Travis's first real sibling brawls :)


Hailey also got a shirt and vest that Grandma Weber made, and looked awfully cute in them if I do say so myself.

And Here is the birthday girl on the big day.


And the cake. It took me hours, but it was well worth the effort when I saw her face.
She woke up to use the potty around 12:30 at night, and she was so excited to see what mommy made for her. It was priceless.


Hailey with her buddies Bennett and Benjamin.

Hailey and her favorite cousin Ben, sharing a chair at the table (aren't they cute).

The kids had a picnic lunch and pool party in the back yard.



Thanks for helping out with the baby Ashlee and Carissa!

Cutie!

For the boys we had pirate party favors instead of necklaces, and even Travis got in on that action, Arrrgh!

Hailey's cousins and friends.


Hailey with all of her adorable and exciting gifts. She played for hours on her birthday after the crowds died down, and has continued to have a fun filled day of birthday toys today.

The pirate tea party.

It's her party, and she can cry if she wants too! Someone ripped the wrapping paper before she had a chance to do it...the poor dear, ha ha.

Ashlee was nice enough to catch me in a photo since I was pretty much behind the scene the whole time.
Later that night we had dinner with some friends and family. The party just never ended, and I am feeling the exhaustion today, let me tell you. It was so cute to watch "Friend" Ben and Hailey feed one another.

Some of the party guests.

And last but not least, Travis was so cute trying to ride his sisters scooter, saggy diaper and all. He had it all figured out, and was actually doing a pretty darn good job. He's so cute!

Carissa, somehow you did not make the cut in this post. I'm sure you don't mind, but just know that it was an oversight, and I still love you :)

Carissa said...

Oh Kim, We had so much fun. I just feel bad that Bennett decided to hide out in the house most of the time.
I'm fine with not being in the post through picture, I'm sure I looked pretty "Awesome"....
Thanks so much for inviting us, Bennett has been talking about the cake ever since. I'm hoping that he doesn't ask for a princess cake for his next party. ha ha.

WOW KIM!!! That cake is absolutely amazing-- it looks like it was done by a professional! You are incredibly talented- if we lived closer to each other I'd take cake decorating classes from you;). Cute pictures-- your kids are adorable (as usual:)).

Kim,
You AMAZE me! I cannot believe you made that cake! I LOVE IT! I'm so jealous! I have a book on making cool cakes, but I'm just not good enough to do them. Great job!!
And, I cannot believe that Hailey is already 3!
