Jenna's 3rd Birthday - Celebration #4

Jenna's 4th celebration was a first for us--a birthday party with her friends. We invited 9 friends from school and church, and 5 were able to come, which ended up being plenty! She was so excited about having her friends at her house! To add to the excitement, we woke up to snow falling on the Saturday morning of the party, which was just beautiful.


We spent the morning getting ready, though, so she wasn't able to play out in it...maybe she will next time.

Daddy led a round of the Hokey Pokey, to start the party. The kids seemed to love it!

I found a picture of a Hello Kitty cake online, so I replicated it. It was delicious...chocolate cake with chocolate and vanilla icings! Yum!


I had plenty of assistance while helping Jenna to open her presents!

The house quickly turned into a playground with running, shouting, etc. A tornado whipped through the living room, but somehow we missed seeing it!

It lasted 1.5 hours on the dot; the kids were starting to get restless at that point. I did manage to get a picture of Jenna with her school friends (the one from church had already left). Aren't they all so cute?

Here's one of just the girls...

Jenna's wondering, "Where did all my friends go?"

So, at the end of the day, I asked Jenna what her favorite part of her birthday party was, and she said:
Yep. The M&Ms! I have a feeling next year's celebration(s) will be a little more simple, if this is what stood out in her memory!
