Alena's Third Birthday Party

Alena had a princess themed party for her third birthday!  While she isn't exactly a girly girl, she loves princesses just the same.  We invited all of the guests to dress up like a princess for the party.  Sadly, only Aubrey did so.  Levi dressed a little like a prince (and so did Daddy), and Mommy put a dress over her jeans. 

She received some gifts that she LOVES including: butterfly net (yet to be put to good use), rubber "outside ball," sunglasses, binoculars, dress up clothes & accessories, a backpack, her first barbie (that she already tore the head off of, twice.  I glued the head back on, but she ripped it off again), and a T-ball set.  

Alena & Aubrey got a chance to play Pin the Tiara on the Princess!

Alena "read" some of her own cards in her own humorous way.  Daddy helped her to figure out what the cards really said!



Alena got a gift box of dress up clothes, complete with necklaces, a boa, and some tutus.  She LOVED it!



Even Uncle Nick wanted to be a princess at Alena's party!

Stop with the photos, Mom!

Alena's "cake" was really a bunch of cupcakes!

Aubrey has rotten teeth... or just lots of chocolate frosting :)

Throughout the day, everyone was asking Alena how old she was turning, and every time she would reply, "I'm sixteen!"  Oh my!  Sometime she'd like to think she's sixteen, but we all know the truth!
