Bella's 3rd Birthday Party!

We celebrated Bella's birthday at a beautiful park on Saturday. The weather was fantastic, and Bella really loved the playground! It was a great way to celebrate the little human!

Our spread! There wasn't a "theme"; we just had a lot of Spring colors...pink plates and napkins, raspberry lemonade, neon-colored straws...it was so easy and a lot of fun!

Homemade, yummy cupcakes! The cake was strawberry and the icing was cream cheese frosting dyed blue; they turned out very bright and cute! I found a cardboard cupcake stand at WalMart for $5.00 - such a deal!

Bella and I have been singing the birthday song for a week or so, and Bella loves it! She was so excited to hear everyone sing and to blow out her candle.

Enjoying her goodies!

Licking all of the frosting off of her number "3" candle.

Showing off her Strawberry Shortcake card from Mimi! She got so many fun presents that she loved! Grandma and Grandpa Wires rocked our world! She got some adorable outfits for the Summer, an Uno animal game, and her favorite...a Rapunzel doll. She has been dragging the doll around with her ever since the party! Mimi and Papa got her a book and Tarzan II, which we've seen about 8 times in 2 days...trust me, that's a lot of Tarzan.

We got her a t-ball set...we just couldn't resist after she had so much fun at Sean's birthday party a few weeks ago. I can't wait to set it up for her, and I think she and Grandpa will have a lot of fun with it when he and Grandma come to visit Evie!

Our family picture...7 years and 2 little humans...whew! It's been a blast!

Aaaaaaannnddd...Bella had reached her "posing" limit. She was squirming to get down and take Rapunzel to the playground, so this was literally the best picture we got of the three of us with Mel. I loved how fun and stress-free the party was! I think I would do her 4th birthday party the exact same way!

Her actual birthday is on Tuesday, so I'll post some pictures from her preschool party then...
