Birthday Bash

We had quite a turnout for Payton's birthday party! About 50 people showed up. I didn't get many pictures, as I was running around like a chicken with its head cut off, but my Mom has promised she'll put hers on a CD for me. Here are the few good ones that I got.

The princess cake...

Payton's 3rd Birthday

Payton woke up to find some birthday balloons and a present waiting for her. She got a Little Mermaid t-shirt, which she wore to school!

We made blueberry pancakes, Payton's favorite!

We put three candles in the pancake, of course..

And Payton had to blow them out about three times, for good measure!

After school, we picked up dinner at Boston Market and took it to Clement Park, where we had a picnic. Payton loves picnics! Then she got to open two more presents! I'd say her favorite gift was a jump rope. She can't jump it yet, but I wish I had a picture of her running down the hill with the jump rope trailing behind her! And when we try to show her how to use it she says "No Mommy! Not like that! Like this!" Then she proceeds to hop about like a monkey while swinging the jump rope wildly all over the place. Goofy girl.

Payton vs. Haley at 2 months...

I THOUGHT Haley and Payton looked a lot alike. Then I decided to look at some pictures at comparable ages, and now I'm thinking... maybe not so much! Here's Haley at 2 months...

and Payton at a little over two months...

Easter

Payton loved hunting for Easter eggs, as well as the candy and the flashlight that the Easter Bunny brought her. Donna, Sarah, Dave, Marston, and Phoebe came over for Easter dinner, but I didn't manage to take any pictures in the afternoon. And Payton looked so cute in her Easter dress, darn it. She was still a little under the weather, though, recovering from croup.
