Reese's birthday - part 1: the party (warning: lots of pics!)


Thank you Grandpa for my awesome banner!

Uniqua, I mean Reese, was ready to party first thing this morning.

The younger crowd - Carter, Carter, Reese, and Mallory (Sorry for it being blurry and off-centered, Cru bumped my hand just as I clicked the picture). You think they'd stand still for another one....

they had better things to do!

Look, Pablo and Uniqua! (Carter and Reese)

Look, there they are again! (Carter and Mallory)

Ready for presents!

Ooo la la, a new tu-tu from Aunty Chancey

along with a purse full of girly goodies!

I think Mallory liked this one (the American Girl Bitty twins!)

Pablo takin' a peek

Reese was definitely ready for cake after all those presents.
Mommy's attempt at a Uniqua cake. As long as it tastes good, it doesn't matter how silly it looks, right?

She wanted to get her fingers on one of those cupcakes so bad!

She was so anxious to blow out her candle while everyone was singing (I think she made it about half way through the song).

Reese with Kellsie and Cassidy

Thanks for coming Christian....too sweet

With Grandpa and Grandma Reese

With Grandma and Grandpa Buchman and her aunties

who she loves so much (Casyn, Cheyna, and Chancey)


All the guests left, but Reese was still partying.
She danced in her new tu-tu

She wanted to make cupcakes

She bathed with Du-du-du-du-du-Dora

And finally, we had a little balloon fun

making a wish

letting it go

watching it go "up to God."

Reese was excited to go to bed....she had all kinds of new toys to take with her.

Our family is so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family. Thank you to all of you who helped Reese celebrate turning 3! She had an absolute blast!
