Avery's 3rd Birthday Party!

Although her birthday isn't until June 24th, the party this year was a little early to ensure that Mommy would be there and able to work it. Well, Mommy was there and made it to about 3/4 of the party planning day before my legs gave out on me and caused me to cry and sit from the pain (my knees have never carried this much weight before... they're worn out). So anyway, the party was a success! Avery got her Yo Gabba Gabba birthday party wish! My mom made all 5 characters out of... a bunch of stuff I couldn't properly name, except I know stuffing and material were involved. They were awesome and when we went to set up for the party, her face was priceless! We had an awesome balloon guy for the first hour making balloon characters for the kids (and some adults) and Deanette did face painting for the kids also. We had "Pin the Eye on Muno" and "Brobee's Bean Bag Toss" games with prizes (side note: never purchase cheap playdoh aka party dough because it's horrible and sticky and not right and was just thrown away... so even though I originally "saved" $5, it wasn't worth it). We also had a "Plex's Party Book Coloring" station where kids could color a little coloring book my mom made with Avery's pictures and Yo Gabba Gabba characters that go to Avery's party (pretty cool) and a "DJ Lance's Dancey Dance Game" station where the kids had a dance party and won some cool (albeit cheap) sunglasses. Then we had cake and cupcakes and ice cream and Ave got to open her presents. My mom also made the cake and cupcakes, which were so cool. And the kids had an impromptu dance party on the stage with the Yo Gabba Gabba music. I'd say it was a pretty successful party (I'm a little proud of it and couldn't have done it without my mom and sisters- the best!!!). Here are some pictures of the fun day:

Happy 3rd Birthday, Pookie Bear!
