Ruby Birthday Party

Ruby LOVES Pinkalicious and requested this theme for her 3rd birthday quite a while back. It was fun and easy. On the 13th we had a swim party with church friends and our wonderful family who always comes to help celebrate.
Big girl ready for her party!



The pink table! We kept the food inside bc it was so hot out!

These 3 ready to welcome friends!


I put a few Pinkalicious quotes around.





Ruby was happy with all the pink sweets! I tried to make the cupcakes look as much like the ones in the book as I could!

Grandpa and Peggy are always so good to come help celebrate.

Ruby's good buddy Avery from Harvest campus came! You wouldn't know it, but Avery is actually 4 months older than Ruby. She's just so petite!

Here are her party guests! The part that Ruby talked about the most afterward was that while everyone was eating I read Pinkalicious to the kids. She loved it!

She was a happy little party go-er!

This girl is always thrilled with a baby! I forgot to picture it, but we sent a party favor of some green goodies and put the quote, "To return to normal, you must eat a steady diet of green food." It was a great end to a fun day!

Ruby bday celebrations

Ruby's birthday celebrations started one day early with a school friend swim play date. Everyone came & enjoyed swimming for a couple hours, and I had a cake to share. Super low key, but a perfect way to get together!
John Lane, Reid, Annie, Ruby, Owen, Connor, and Piper! Ellis and Aidan were there, too (Henry had art camp)! So thankful for these dear friends (and their mamas!).
Ruby was thrilled that the Swanners brought her a gift-glow in the dark nail polish and "her own" bath bombs! We had a bath and did nails ASAP after this gift!
On her actual bday, Tuesday, we ended up having a super fun but super busy day! The girls and I dropped Henry at art camp and then got a donut for bday breakfast at our favorite donut Palace! Then we headed to the splash pad for a couple of hours before picking Henry back up.
No better place to go on a hot July day!! This girl love the splash pad.
Next we ran and picked up Henry and headed to Cow Appreciation at CFA. It just so happened to be on her bday! We met up with our friends the Stubbs. We had a crazy experience-the power went out completely while we were there (like as we were ordering)! We got most of our food, still, but had to sit in the heat in a very odd environment! I noticed the "Crisis Management Manual" was out on the counter! Those poor workers!

After naps and Daddy coming home, we headed to Chuck-e-Cheese as promised. The 3 kids were so thrilled. It was basically empty, so we had the run of the place and they had a ball. Here they are dancing with Chuck.

Celebrate! I'm 3!

Back at home we opened family gifts and had cupcakes!

Henry is such a gift giver-he made a card for her and put in a secret pocket with $3 of his money for her (because she's 3 of course!).

Our big gift to her was this "real" baby which has proven to be a winner.:)

Happy siblings!

Sweet 3 year old girl. We love you!
