Guess Who's 3?


Well, not officially until next Saturday....But Raleigh did have the "Little Einstein's Party" she's been waiting so patiently for this weekend...

The party was at Grammy's house, in the art studio. The Little Einstein's decorations are impossible to find, so we had to had paint the backdrops and table decorations. Table cloths and plates were about all we could find. I think everything turned out really cute though! Raleigh only wanted Little Einsteins and LOTS of balloons! She was thrilled.
We played Einsteins BINGO and did some art projects with the kids...

Raleigh and Christian were SO cute playing through the glass windows as Christian left....

Oh! And I got my hair cut! Still trying to adjust to the new look.

Raleigh's friend Jasmine (well, her mom is my friend, so that makes them friends by default, right?)

Oh and Aiden made a new friend at the party too. This is Dillan - he's two months older than Aiden. His family lives down the street from Grammy and Grandpa.

Raleigh's presents!
Raleigh finally opens her own presents (what a relief)

Awwwwww.....

Overall the party was a success. Started out a little slow, we had a few late comers (I was afraid they weren't coming and Raleigh was going to have the smallest birthday party on record) but everything worked out OK . Most importantly, Raleigh had the BEST time! She wanted to know if we could have the party again. Definitely not....once was plenty!
Next Saturday, on her actual birthday we'll do something special.
Hopefully I can get a picture of her finished art project and the playhouse she received from mommy and daddy. Grammy, Grandpa, Great Mimi & Great Papa helped with the playhouse accessories. Perhaps tomorrow those pictures will get posted!
