Happy 3rd Birthday!

Hayden T. is officially 3! Her birthday was last Sunday and we celebrated with a party at the park. A wonderful time was had by all. Here are the pics:


Our party patio


The Official 3rd Birthday Cake: Elmo-Style


Elmo cake again


The cake with the #3 in the nose


This is Hayden sucking icing off of the base of
the Big Bird figurine that was on the cake a few
seconds before I took the picture


We were singing Happy Birthday to her; Her
response was half amused and half annoyed


Sucking icing off of the #3 candle...and some
extremely curly hair


Our big girl!


This was a horseshoe playing court...or as Kelly
liked to call it, pit of nails and danger


Daddy and Hayden are gonna open presents!


She wasn't into gift-opening this year...it was
also super-humid and she had been running
around like a maniac


Five minutes later, Daddy became the official present-opener to the
Birthday Princess!

One of our presents to Hayden: A fish tank with

on getting a small bowl for the 5 small fish


Another of our presents: more Elmo DVD fun!

This is either Zelda Rose or Karyn Mandy...I'm

but this beauty is from Nanny, Papa, & Zizi
