Tatum turns 3!!

Tatum had her 3rd birthday party on Sunday and she had a very bouncy day in her bounce house with her friends. The bounce house arrived at our house at 9:00 am and didn't leave until 9:00 pm so we got lots of bouncing out of it!

Tatum had lots of friends join her at her Tinkerbell themed party and everyone enjoyed her fairy cake.

Besides the bounce house, dress up station, crafts table and ride on toys, there was a pinata! Everyone took a few whacks at it...

but then everyone pulled a string or two and Tatum happened to pull the winning string which let down all the yummy candy! Now, as an adult, I would have been diving in there with my candy bag, grabbing up as much candy as possible and I fully expected all the kids to react this way as well...

but shockingly all the children just stood there, watched the candy fall, took a few pieces, and then requested to get back into the bounce house. I guess candy appreciation comes later. :)

Ty even got in the bounce house and had a fun time. :)

On the morning of Tatum's real birthday, she couldn't wait to open more presents! After all the gifts, Daddy made her a special birthday pancake with chocolate chips and bananas, yummy! When I asked her what she wanted to do, she said shopping. Oh the trouble. :) She took some money she got from her Great Aunt Diane and Grandma ($3) in her purse and we went to the 99 cent store (one of our favorites). She got two books and a Dora doll and then we were off to another favorite store, Target. She wanted to eat lunch there and then shop with some more birthday money. (have I trained this girl well or what?!) She bought a few more books and decided to keep the rest of the money till later.

Then when Daddy got home from work, we bought a bunch of yummy pizza toppings and made our own pizzas! They were delicious!

Tatum and I made cupcakes earlier in the day so after dinner, we had fun frosting and decorating them...

and then eating them! :) Happy birthday my beautiful little girl!
