Shay's 3rd Birthday Party

Finally getting around to posting some pictures of Shay's birthday party.  Better late than never I suppose.

My camera died toward the beginning of the party even though it said the battery was fully charged before we left.  Thankfully, Jeff's mom had her camera on hand and I was able to get those files in addition to the ones I shot on my iPhone.  

We had Shay's party at Hoppity Hop in Hendersonville.  I would highly recommend hosting kids' parties at a location with activities for the kiddos.  Instead of running around like mad trying to clean house, buy and prepare all of the food, buy and put up decorations, etc., we are able to relax and actually just enjoy being with Shay, family & friends during her party.  Plus the kids had a blast.  Hoppity Hop has a private jump room filled with big inflatable slides and play houses for each party as well as use of the party room.  They provided all of the food & drinks, minus the cake, as well as tablecloths, plates, cups, utensils, etc. and did the set up and clean up after.  

We are thankful for everyone who came out to celebrate our little girl and for those who were thinking of her on her birthday.  Here are some pics of the fun:

 I love this picture - pure joy on her face!

 I think Seth may have been having more fun than Sophia!

 These chocolate bars along with bouncy play balls for the kids were the party favors inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar book.
