The Lucks: Adelyn's 3rd Birthday

Adelyn is 3! And if you ever forget, don't worry because she will let you know :). Adelyn loves hearing stories and reading story books, so for her 3rd birthday party, we thought it would be fun to do a story book theme. Not that a 3 year old needs a themed party, but it was fun for me. We all had a lot of fun eating, playing, and swimming in the baby pools out back b/c the day was HOT! We loved celebrating this sweet girl, and we are so grateful for her. She is a sweet big sister (as long as her toys aren't snatched from her by little sticky fingers), loves to dance and sing, and has a slightly introverted personality (unlike her extremely extroverted brother!) Despite being introverted, once she gets to know someone, she becomes and instant good friend. She loves reading and learning, and I think that preschool this fall couldn't come soon enough for her. Our Northern Virginia born child is learning to love the outdoors, getting much better about swiping away spider webs on her outdoor toys without too many squeals, and has discovered that getting mud on her dress (b/c we must wear a dress most of the time, preferably with her hair down) is a natural part of playing outside. We can't imagine life without this very dramatic bundle of joy!

Desserts. Building materials for the 3 little pigs (chocolate spiders - sticks, haystacks - straw, and peanut butter/chocolate bars - bricks) and little green candy for Jack and the Bean Stack's magic beans.

Dinner. Sliders for the 3 Bears (Papa bear - beef, Mama bear - turkey, baby bear - pbj) and mac n cheese muffins for Goldilocks. 3 Little Pigs (pigs in a blanket), Princes and the Pea (layered salad with peas on the bottom), and Rapunzel (curly fries)
