Aubrey's Third Birthday Celebrations

Aubrey's third birthday ended up being a whole weekend celebration!  We had lots of friends and family all come to celebrate Aubrey and it meant the world to us!
 
On Friday, Aubrey's real birthday, we had her favorite for dinner: pancakes!  We enjoyed some very sweet, funfetti pancakes that really made the birthday girl happy.  And yes she got to eat dinner in her pajamas :).
 


Aubrey understands a lot more about what birthdays are all about this year so we decided to celebrate with a painting party!  Aubrey loves anything art and so this theme was pretty fitting for her :).  On Saturday we had her painting party.
 

 
The decorations were fun and cheap to make and of course they had Aubrey's favorite colors in them- pink and purple :).  It was forecast to rain that weekend, but the rain held off and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!
 

 
 
Her close buddies came to celebrate with her and they each got to paint with paint popsicles on a small canvas.  Each kid got their own little apron and then they went at it.  Of course this got a little messy but the projects sure turned out cute.
 



 
Thanks to a lot of helping hands (you know who you are and thank you so much!), we had some fun colorful food including "painted" popcorn, Rice Krispy paint brushes, and rainbow Jello and fruit kabobs.  We also had cupcakes organized on paint pallets.
 
 

 
We had some messy faces after all the eating. It was so great to celebrate with so many close friends and have so many people supporting this little three year old.
 

 

 

 
It was time to sing to the birthday girl...
 
 
We even had a little paparazzi action from little Noah right before we sang :).
 










 
And just like that this little one was ready to dig into one of her cupcakes.  Boy does this girl LOVE cupcakes!

 
 
 



 
After cupcakes this girl loved opening her presents.
 
 
 





 We had such a blast celebrating with her closest friends and we are so blessed to have so many people in her life that are so wonderful and so supportive and you all have a special place in our hearts.  Thank you all for coming and celebrating with us!!  It meant so much to us!  Also, a BIG thank you to Lyndsay for tag teaming the picture taking with me.  You did a wonderful job of capturing the day and we really appreciate you doing this for us :).

 
Sunday evening was yet another celebration!  This one was a family dessert night.  Nana made the cake and we had both sides of the family over for cake and ice cream.  Uncle Jeremy and Aunts Marta and Lidia also came for the weekend so we got to celebrate with them too :).
 





 
We had a great evening with family and Aubrey loved her pink and purple butterfly cake!
 
Oh Aubrey girl!  With all your silliness, your faces, laughter, your quiet spirit and so much more, we love every bit of you!!
 
























 
Thanks for making each day wonderful.  We love you!  We can't wait to see what this next year holds in store for you :).
