A Late Birthday Party

Sam and Sharon threw a birthday party for their second daughter, Bella's, third birthday a few weeks ago. (Yes, I was kind of slow on posting again, but things have been happening. ;)) 

Her birthday was really sometime last year before Thanksgiving, but with everything going on then with Sam's mom (my late grandma), it got pushed back until just recently. 

It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon to be outside with everyone at the party. As soon as everyone had arrived, the pizza was served; and then it was off the the swing set for the kids, and on to relaxing conversation among the adults.

Bella really enjoyed Esther pushing her around the back yard. :) 

I think I have the cutest cousins. xD Laura--my buddy. =)

I spent some time pushing the munchkins on the swings for quite a while. It isn't so hard to keep three swings going at the same time maintaining a different speed for each one to match their demand--er, request. 

Elijah Paul-- so quiet because he hasn't started talking yet, but truly adorable. 

Laurisa soaking in the sunshine. She really enjoys it since she works in doors most of the week.

After a while, it was time for cake! WOO-HOO! Cake... =D hehe..

Yes, a Toy Story themed party for a more tom-boyish little girl. :)

She was munching on chocolate coins when everyone was singing to her.. ;)

After some surprisingly very delicious cake, Bella got to open her presents!

She got several princess gifts but--way to go, girl!-- the telescope kit was undoubtedly her favorite! 

The girls all busy blowing bubbles..

It's kind of funny how close some of them think it was to be for their mouth to make them..

And the amount of concentration it takes... O.o

Jonah's such a cute 2-year old, isn't he?

 Whaddaya know, somebody else got pushed around the yard too... ;)

Why, Esther...What big eyes you have! O.O

 The final activity for the party was the pinata! The hook in it's top kept falling out of it, so it needed fixed a few times before it actually busted.

Atta, girl, Bella! Show the boys up!

We had some visitors just a few days ago so I want to get that posted soon along with some things Mom has gotten done to the house! I enjoy getting comments, so don't be shy!
