We were planning on saving our birthday presents for her to open on her actual birthday, the 16th, but we let her open one the night before her birthday party! We gave in because she has been obsessed with 'Team Umizoomi' lately and uses random toys to pretend to be Milli, Geo, and Bot...so she was doing that and we couldn't wait any longer to see her reaction to them and an Umizoomi book:)
On Saturday the 14th we had her Princess birthday party! It was so much fun to have her cousins and her little neighborhood friends over to celebrate!
The weather could not have been better!
The kids (and by kids, I mean their adult parents haha) made princess and prince T-shirts! They turned out so cute!
The birthday girl never did participate because she was too scared of the blindfold mask....but she was obviously interested in watching from the safety of dad's arms |
This is pretty much the best of the forced smile pictures I get out of her lately:) |
She's pro at blowing out the candles now that she's got a whole 3 years under her belt!
hahaha this picture! I'm pretty sure something inappropriate was just said. Love these gals |
Jade got overwhelmingly spoiled with presents! She was really just in stunned silence opening present after present! Thank you everyone!
She wouldn't let this Peppa Pig house out of her sight the rest of the party!
Jade really was in heaven to have Grandma, Great-grandpa Probst (we missed Grandma Probst who was not doing well, but is thankfully doing better), and Gammy and Gampy along with her friends and family there. Thank you to all that made the time and effort to be there. I know it meant a lot to her.
When the party was over and it was just us again, it was nice to just chill and bask in all the love we felt that day....and of course play with everything she got!
Since Lainey basically napped most of the party...we had to get her in her Princess T-shirt for some pictures.
Her birthday on Monday didn't start out super fun...it started at a car shop getting the safety and emissions inspections done! Who wouldn't be thrilled about that. "Mom, waiting is hard!" "Waiting is boring."
But on the way home we stopped at the park to play for a while. And look at this adorable baby who thinks she's not a baby anymore!
So funny story... Jade was, of course, PUMPED to go to "the trampoline place" again and kept asking if we were there yet, the whole drive up to Orem! So we walk up to the door and there is a note on the door saying they are closed to the public for a private event and that they will re-open at 8:30 pm (2 hours later)....BUMMER! We did not want to have to explain to a crying birthday girl that we have to get back in the car and go home. So we decide to get in line and kind of play dumb and just ask. The girl at the register asks our names and if we are part of the group... ummm no. She then tells us they are closed because the whole place has been rented out. Tom asks her if there is anything she can do because it's Jade's birthday, and this is where she wanted to go on her birthday, and we drove up here, blah blah blah, oh and he even promised her we would blend in haha!. And bless her heart!- After an awkward pause, she takes our names and gives us wrist bands! We thank her profusely and when Tom pulled out his debit card to pay, she just waved us in (because it had already been rented out!) So it was also free!!! Good Karma is coming for that girl to make Jade's birthday!
We never did figure out what group we were a part of that night!
I just love this little cupcake! |
And then we ended the night taking our tired and sweaty daughter through a drive through to get an ice cream cone!
Her other 2 presents from Tom and I are this Polly Pocket wall mall we set up in her room! She LOVES it!
And a bubble gun! And yes, she may still have been in her pajamas at 4pm..
