Birthday: Part III "The Big Shebang!"

On April 19th (one day after those torrential rain storms that flooded out many areas of Houston) we hosted Kendall's official birthday party at Stevenson Park in Friendswood.A picture of the invites that mommy & daddy painstakingly glittered, be-jeweled and assembled!

It was an absolutely gorgeous day, albeit windy! We had a wonderful turnout--in all over 100 people in attendance--lots of playgroup friends, schoolmates, family (from near & far) and other special friends!

Not a cloud in the sky!








The most magnificent cake EVER! Cakes by Gina rocked the house yet AGAIN with a most delicious topsy turvy cake that exceeded even mommy's high expectations! The cake was a perfect match to the invites!




The cutest little girl you ever did see!
(Later, when asked what her favorite thing about the party was, Kendall enthusiastically exclaimed, "THE CAKE"!)

Lots of other yummies!



The activities for the afternoon included pottery painting (teacups, of course), train rides on the Mad Hatter's Express, Tea Cup Toss, and the bounce house.






The party favors included personalized M&Ms and bags of delicious glazed popcorn made by mommy's friends Abby & Will! YUMMY!
