Madison's 3rd Birthday Party

So we celebrated Madison's 3rd birthday on Saturday. It was your basic, run of the mill, 3rd birthday party with all of the trimmings. We crammed 25 family members into our tiny house, 7 of them being children under the age of 6, and had a wonderful time!! Don't get me wrong, it was udder chaos, but fun.

Our theme was "Kitty Kat". I made a kitty kat cake that I found here, we had kitty kat paper products, she got a new kitty kat beanie baby......but no real kitty cat as I am not a real fan of cleaning litter boxes! For lunch we had Little Ceaser pizza, complete with a delicious salad topped with Belvidere dressing.

Presents followed, which was a whirlwind!! All the children were circled around Madison and it seemed everyone had a hand in the unwrapping!! Tissue paper and wrapping paper was flying around, and I barely had a chance to see the gift before the next one was being torn into!! She received several darling new dresses, a swim suit, an Aerial doll, and babydoll with stroller, both sets of grandparents went in on a darling picnic table complete with an umbrella, a couple of new videos...one being her favorite Max and Ruby, several new short sets, playdoe galore, a princess backpack and nigtgown, gift card to Old Navy......which might be used to get momma somthing : ).....I think that about covers it! She made out pretty good I think. We were so thankful to have so many family memers in our home to celebrate such a special birthday!! It was a fun time to be together!! Hard to believe that Madison is three! I am so thankful that I have her. I look forward to seeing her grow and learn this year....should be interesing!!
