Waiting around this morning for her friends to show up was pretty hard.
And... I seriously don't know how moms do complete "Pinterest style" birthday parties. I threw up a few decorations, planned some games, favors, and food, and just that was completely exhausting! Mostly because when you throw a toddler birthday party, you have well... your kids around "helping" with everything.
Cora is a pretty cute little helper.
But, it was all worth it because Aubrey was really happy. She loved her party and she loves her friends. She was allowed to invite four little friends, and they all came. She also invited Stephanie. Stephanie is actually my friend, but Aubrey is in love with her.
We had teddy bear shaped food, teddy bear coloring, parachute games, story time, dancing, presents, and cake. The kids were all really good.
Steven was the official photographer, but he was there. He was also such a help with decorating and keeping the kids occupied in the back while I finished the food this morning.
Blowing out the candles.
The best part was seeing the look of joy on Aubrey's face.
And now... I need a nap.

Happy early birthday to Aubrey! She looks adorable and like she is having the best party a three year old could. Glad she was so excited and thrilled. Three cheers to mom for putting it on and with a sick baby too :-)
that last picture is ADORABLE.
