Lauren's 3rd Birthday Party!

Lauren had her birthday party at the Children's Museum this year. Elizabeth always has the funnest (even though that's not a real word) parties!
The girls had a blast.

Heidi (waving in the back and the tallest below) is the cutest babysitter ever. She came to help and celebrate and made it so much fun for the kids. Look how orderly she kept the kids in line when we moved from one area to another! She got lots of compliments from other parents. She is one of my cute young women and I think she is just awesome!

One funny memory for adults only... During a story time, the girls climbed up in a pretend tree to "listen". I'm not sure why, but there was a wooden stick up in the tree and they could poke the stick through wooden holes in the tree. Natalie was poking her head through one larger hole and then stuck the stick way out at about crotch level and was waving it around. Obviously, not having any clue what this might look like to two "older" ladies like me and Angie - my good friend who was at the party too. We were stifling our giggles like we were in Jr. High again. Pretty funny.

Elizabeth always spoils the kids with tons of food and treats and fun decorations. They were a happy bunch!

After the party, I stayed with my girls and we played all afternoon. We spent about an hour and a half or maybe more in the clay room making creations! We even had them baked so they can be on permanent. Unfortunately, my camera battery died so I'll have to take pictures of our creations and add them later. (o: Thanks for a wonderful day Elizabeth!
