Mattie's 3rd Birthday Party!

Wow, my little girl is 3 years old! She has 'grown-up' so much since last year and it is true what everyone says "they grow up so fast".... Mattie is very opinionated about everything, including what she wears... she LOVES dress-up, including the tu-tus she has received from Aunt Holly and Cousins Afrouz and Arezo... here she is modeling one for everyone to see just how big and puffy they need to be!
Now on to her party! The bounce house was the best investment we have ever made... I barely saw my kid at her party, she spent almost 4 hours jumping... pure joy and excitement, I think it was the highlite of the day for her... if only we had a yard big enough to buy one, I totally would!

As soon as we got to the park, she was going in... I managed to get one photo of her looking put-together before the jumping mania began!

Mattie stopped jumping for about 10 minutes to enjoy hearing the Happy Birthday Song, and eat 1/2 a piece of cake, then she was back to bouncing with friends!

And wow, does Mattie have a lot of little friends! I guess it is our age, but I never realized just how many kids we would be inviting to her birthday party! The kids all seemed to have a great time, and the adults got to chat while their kids jumped and played at the park... Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate with us and helped make Mattie's day super special! When the bounce house people came to take down the house, Mattie started bawling inside while still jumping... it was torture to take her out and watch it get deflated ;( I guess that means she had a great time, and couldn't have asked for a better party ;)
