Lucy's 3rd Birthday

Lucy has been waiting for her {Birthday} to come for a long time. I let her plan her day, and this is how it all turned out...

First we invited a few friends to the park for a {Cupcake} Party.
The night before, Lucy helped me make the "Perfect" colors of frosting. Then she wanted to bring {sprinklers} to decorate the cupcakes. The results...

It was a great day at the park and the kids had fun. Lucy loved all of her gifts. As soon as we got home the boxes were ripped open, dresses & feathers flying and new bows in her hair{I am still trying to talk her into sharing her bows with her Mom}!

Lucy and I went home to start on her "Pirate Cupcakes" for the evening event.

She requested {Pirate Island Pizza} for her Birthday dinner.
We were able to get "The Cave" all to ourselves. It was a bit squishy, but worked out great. Lucy, as always was showered with great presents. She received: a table and 2 chairs{for outside, but she won't let us take it out}...a doll house...3 Barbies...a Barbie Jeep...Barbie clothes{because for some reason they don't wear much theses days}

...a shovel, rake and gloves for the garden...an apron
...and coloring books. Thanks Grandma Hansen, Grandpa Hansen & Nana, Grandma & Grandpa Pendleton, Grandma Shirley, Daniel, Jami & the kids.

It make me so sad that last year I had to go over the whole "blowing out the candle" deal...this year, she was a natural!

Lucy was a crack up in the arcade. She would put the token in and just start pushing buttons. She won soooo many tickets. We had a few tokens left so I was trying to get rid of them fast. Lucy walks by and pushes my button and won the Jackpot!

I think the kids had a blast and it was good to be with family for the {celebration}. As you can see from this picture...I was so tired and ready for bed.

Happy Birthday, Lucy. We love you so much. You are so funny and the sweetest little girl we could ever ask for. Hope you had fun! Until next year.....

Happy birthday Lucy! I love that you let her plan out her own Lucy day! It seemed perfect! You really are the next martha stewart i think. Those pirate cupcakes were amazing! So cute! I only have one question... Where are Lucy's sheep?

Oh Lucy, Happy Birthday! I'm glad your mama FINALLY decided to document! It looks like you had a fun-filled day with lots of cupcakes and friends! I can hardly believe you're 3 years old! So darling.
