Big Birthday Bash...

Mallory had a BIG party for her 3rd birthday!

Her invitations...

We had a Luau party with leis for all the guests and sunglasses and hula hoops for the kids...

And, swimming pools, too...

Super CUTE flip-flop cupcakes...

And, plates and napkins to match...

Mallory wore a flip-flop tank top and an awesome grass skirt!

Some pre-party pics...

Bryce, Brooklyn, and Aunt Angie were the first guests to arrive...

Granny, Papaw, and Brooklyn with their Hawaiian shirts...

As kids arrived, they played outside...

Bryce, Mallory, Jackson, and Paige...

We were very excited so many kids came to the party...

Ms. Sharon's kids...Kayden, Alaina, Dylan, Ashlyn, Bailey, Dawson, and Sirius

Mallory's cousins...Bryce, Brooklyn, Paige, Jonah, Jackson, and Lucas

And her friends...Hayden, Carter, and Jackson

Time for pizza...

Kayden, Ashlyn, Dylan, Mallory, and Alaina...

Bailey, Lucas, and Jackson...

Bryce and Hayden...

Brooklyn is wondering, "What's going on around here?"


Now for the presents...

Mommy is just trying to help...

Mallory was "in the zone." She had such a serious look on her face the entire time she opened presents. She was going so fast from one present to the next. I think she was a little overwhelmed...there were so many presents!

I couldn't keep up, and neither could Mel who writing it all down for me. I finally got her to slow down and open the cards first...

Let's eat cake!
Look at this face...she was so embarrassed when we sang happy birthday...

As we were singing, she turned her head away, she wouldn't look at anyone...


Before we could finish singing, she turned quickly toward the cake, and...

blew out the candles!

Mallory LOVED her birthday cake, and so did the other kids...

Kayden

Bryce

Paige

Bailey, Ashlyn, Alaina, and Dylan

Dawson

Yummy!

Thanks to Ms. Erin for taking pictures for us!

Let's put on our swim suits and go outside...

The kids played and played and played...

Jackson loves this car!

Mallory and Kayden chillin' in the pool...

Aunt Angie brought this cool bubble machine, and the kids loved it!

Ms. Sharon held the kids up so they could get the bubbles...

Ashlyn wouldn't get wet, so Ms. Sharon and Ashlyn's mom, throw her in the pool...

Then, they threw in Ashlyn's sister, Bailey...

Now it's the birthday girl's turn...

Molly pushing Lucas and Hayen...

This picture is so sweet of Aunt Angie and cousin Brooklyn...

Mommy's friends...Mel, Julie, and Paulette

Mallory and Kayden took orders and got the food ready to serve...

And, they served it all to Pawpaw!

We played Luau music, and did the LIMBO...it was hilarious!!!

Erin and Mel did an awesome job holding the limbo stick :o)

How low can you go?

After each turn, she would shake her booty at Pawpaw...


Then, the kids wanted to do it by themselves...




"London Bridge is Falling Down"

This was very cute...

Ring Around the Rosie...

And, dancing, too...

Aunt Teresa reading to Jackson and Bryce...

Mimi and Pawpaw have one more present for Mallory...

Close your eyes...



A BIG girl bike!!

WOW!

Thank you!

I LOVE how excited Bryce and Mallory look...

Mallory took it for a ride, and everyone watched...

Time for Mimi and Pawpaw to go home...

Granny and Papaw had to go, too...

BUT, Mallory, Kayden, and Bryce kept on playing...they did not want the party to end...

Bryce sang to the girls...

I LOVE this picture! They are having so much fun...Bryce singing, Kayden dancing, and Mallory laughing...


Mallory was so excited that Bryce got to spend the night...


After playing ball in the bed and helping me clean up, we finally got them settled down, into their pajamas, and into bed...

Mallory had the best time at her party! We thank everyone so much for coming. We are so thankful to have such wonderful family and friends to celebrate special times with and make wonderful memories...

The morning after...

Parties sure are fun, but they take a lot out of you...
