Rachel's Birthday Party

I CANNOT believe that Rachel just celebrated her third birthday!  How did this happen?  She is such a sweet girl who loves life.  (I'll go into more about her personality on her portrait post, but for now... Party time!)
We had her birthday party the Saturday after her birthday, but we still wanted to celebrate her on her actual birthday of course.  So we went to Chick-fil-A!  It was nice because the kids got to play and there was no cooking and clean-up involved!  (A huge plus for this working momma!)




What a happy Birthday Girl!


I just love this picture.  Gavin loves his Uncle Brent.



Alli loves Gavin!

What an awesome balloon!






Rachel got her birthday crown at school and wore it ALL DAY LONG.  She wanted to take it to dinner too... I couldn't tell her no!  (She may still have it at home and wear it around the house once in a while!)




So excited!

And of course ice cream for dessert...

she may have eaten EVERY BITE

So happy that Nana and Great-Grandpa DeLaughter could be here to help celebrate



Grandma saved some flowers for Rachel to roll out to put on her cake




concentrating so hard!

Okay, I may have gone a little crazy with the pink and green (thanks to Pinterest!), but I think it turned out so cute!  I especially love the strawberry handprints on the windows made by Rachel, with the help of Blake and Alli.  It turned out to be a perfect day, so we were able to let all the kids play outside before we ate, and we were able to eat outside too!  










It was a perfect day to play on the swingset outside!

















All the "little" girls (Rachel, Eva, Megan, and Alli)

the bigger kids (Samara, Blake, Anna, Erin)










She wanted to play with everything as she opened it!






Blowing out her THREE candles!


Happy Birthday, sweet Rachel!
