The girls helped with the preparations!! It's blurry, but I'm sure you can tell that they are test tasting the frosting to make sure mommy didn't forget any ingredients.
Your not playing hard enough unless someone falls down and scraped a knee!! Makayla was a little cranky that I took a picture before I got a band aid! Ooops.
"See daddy, it's right there," Makayla and the rest of the girls froze all thoughts of playing until a certain spider was killed! I think she takes after me a little that way :)
Super cute!! Hana with the candles! And...although I'm usually a little bit of a Nazi when it comes to themes and party planning, I let Hana pick out whatever she wanted, even if it didn't all go together. Gasp! So we had flower power noise makers...and horsey cupcakes with colored sprinkles!
Some hitting pointers from dad! The hardest part about this was keeping the kids from getting whacked with the bat!! with each swing the kids got closer and closer with anticipation!! I thought for sure we were going to get a black eye by the end of the day...but we escaped any and all bat injuries that day :) Hurray!!
Sorry parents....I let the kids gather as much candy as would fit into their baggies! Kill me later :)
Hana, with hands full, kept trying to pick up more candy. To her dismay, every time she picked up a new piece, a different one escaped from her grasp. She couldn't figure it out! I watched her for a few minutes because it was so cute, and I'm a mean mommy :) then i got her a little baggy to put her "treasure" in.
Present time: Always fun and a little hectic. Hana really enjoys having things that are just her own. Being the 2nd child, most of the stuff they play with was Makayla's. It's been difficult explaining to makayla that everything that Hana got for her birthday does not belong to both of them. We are dealing with a little "I want....I want..." thing right now. I'm sure it will pass...after mak's birthday comes :)
Our girls wear dress-up clothes from morning to night! They have worn them down to threads!!! So we bought Hana a new dress up dress and she put it on immediately and wore it all day. she cried and cried when we had to take it off to put her jammies on. It was so sweet!!
No birthday would be complete without a little vomit! Ava, (you met her on the "Hana goes to gymnastics" blog) was acting a little down during the party, she even fell asleep on the chair in the living room. We thought she was feeling a little better when, with one arm in a cast, she went out to hit the pinata....but after presents she went back to the chair to rest! Of course...right when all the kids came clamoring around her to see how she was....it was then that she threw up. Poor thing! It was all cleaned up in a jiffy...and she is feeling much better today, (the day after). A special thanks to Ava for making Hana's 3rd Birthday especially unforgettable :)
So...all in all :) A wonderful time...always to be cherished..never forgotten!

I still feel bad that Ava threw up at your house!! At least she chose the leather chair to sit on...it could have been much worse (your couch, another kid, our new car,etc...)! If there is anyone reading this whose kid was at the party and happens to get sick, I'm apologizing in advance. The Simmons are all about making a party memorable! Thanks for the tribute to Ava. She's had a rough couple of weeks. See you when we're all 100% again!

I can just picture Hana trying to pick up as much candy that can fit in her hands and becoming dismayed when they kept falling! How adorable!!! I just loved the captions with all the pics!
What a fun day! Happy Birthday Hana, you little cutie pie.
Super cute! I'm so glad that Hana had a fantastic birthday (despite the throwing up... poor Ava!). However, I wonder if you "I want, I want" will really end with Mak's birthday? Maybe Hana will start her "I wants" at that point... hummm.... I hope not! We love you guys!
Now that I see that there was a baseball bat at the party, it might be a good thing we were too sick to come. Jake has a mean swing. Thanks for another blog post for me to leave like 20 comments on. Oh- and if you get this by this evening. Jake threw up during the night so I am guessing the Kincaid house will make a no show. I am sick of them being sick. bahhhh!!

Hi Jenny,
Hana's party looked so much fun, I can see she also liked her new princess dress! What a doll. I love the number 3, pinata too! What a fun thing for the kids to do. Oh, and don't worry about all you beautiful flowers, they will be back soon, and all the gorgeous fall colors are now coming out! Have you taken the girls to a pumpkin patch to pick out their own pumpkins before? I'm sure they would have fun doing that! Talk to you soon,
Love, Jacquie <><
