Anna Kate Turns 3

Last Saturday, we headed up to Moorseville to help Anna Kate celebrate her birthday.  Sara took a lot of pictures on her blog, but this post is to confirm that yes we did attend and the kids had a blast.

We were the first of Anna's friends to arrive and the girls turned up the crazy to 100 straight away with all the balloons.

 Carter was a bit more subdued meeting friends that were more of his size.

 The whole family took a turn on the swingset, although not pictured was me running back and forth to keep them all moving.  You would think that Laura could swing by herself....

 The girls eating some kids snacks.  There were a lot of little kids at the party and one of the smaller ones grabbed a chip off of Avery's plate while they were eating as her plate only had healthy food on it.  The mom apologized and we didn't think anything of it.  At the end of eating, the father asked his little girl, "What's in your belly?"  Avery rolled her eyes and said "My chips...."

 Anna having Happy Birthday sung to her and the awesome cake my mom made for her.  It's so funny to watch kids enjoy being the center of attention on their birthday.

 Carter making silly faces with Daddy for the camera.

 A book was a part of the presents, so everything had to stop to read it.

 Carter was a great helper opening the presents.  He is actually sitting in one of the boxes, tearing up the tissue paper into confetti to be used at a future birthday party or parade.
