Bouncy House Birthday Bash

Today we celebrated Ella Kate's 3rd birthday at Kids Rule.  For several months, Ella Kate has said that she wanted to have her birthday at "the jumpy place" and so, this mama took the easy way out of birthday planning and met her request.  We had a fabulous time with friends, and Ella Kate woke up from her nap asking to go back to play again.

 How is it that my baby girl is going to be 3 on Friday??? She seems so grown up now!!

 Of course, we had to take tons of family pictures before the party festivities began.  G and Kay Kay were there.  They were the winners of the favorite present of the day.  One of the gifts they brought Ella Kate was the Dream Lite...you know the "As Seen On TV" thing. Ella Kate LOVES it, and I have to admit, it is pretty cute to see all the designs on the ceiling.

 Aunt Haley was a HUGE help at the party! She helped EK and the other kids up the big steps to the slide and chased EK all over the place.

 Aunt Carolyn was here as well.  Thanks for coming up to celebrate with us!!!!

 I think Papaw is pretty smitten with these two! I can never get him to look at the camera.  He always has his eyes on those great grands!!! Sweet thing!

 Walker was pretty excited to celebrate with Ella Kate today.  He just loves his big sister!!

 Party time!!!!

 The gang found a good spot to take in all the action.

 The boys all had a blast!! I forgot how rough and tough boys are!!!!

Maybe the boys were playing rough because the biggest kid at the party was getting them all stirred up??? Seriously though, J was awesome with the kids and he helped them to have an extra fun time!

 Sweet Kara

 Cake Time!!! So, Ella Kate DID NOT LIKE the birthday song...AT ALL!!! She cried and cried until we just stopped singing all together.  Diva. She did decide to scrape it up to blow out her candles.

 Here are the precious ballet slipper cookies that The Cookie Mama made for Ella Kate.  They were too cute and EK loved them since she is super obsessed with anything ballet.

It was a great day celebrating our sweet and spunky Ella Kate!! Thanks to all who were there and we missed those of you who could not make it!!
