Howdy Lizzie it's your 3rd Birthday!!!

*DOUBLE CLICK ON ANY PICTURE AND IT WILL ENLARGE*

This year for Lizzie's birthday she wanted a cowboy theme (not a cowgirl theme, since she is a cowboy like her Dad). So My amazing friend Angie and I went looking for AMAZING ideas for this party. With everything going on I didn't have a lot of time so this is what I came up with and it was a hit:

We had pony rides

We had a Hoedown and Karaoke

We made our own Cowboy vests from grocery sacks

My AMAZING friend Charly did the face painting, and oh was it a hit!!!

We had a shoot out! Who could knock down the most cans with either a ball or target gun. The boys LOVED this activity. Molly couldn't put the cans up fast enough.

Horse races and snake in the grass

Some of the fun people who came to celebrate with Lizzie

Good ole' cupcakes!!! Thanks Jenny they were so yummy!!!

The Parker Clan with the birthday gal

and we couldn't forget the presents.

Well I think the party was a huge success. The kids had a great time, and even though the tractor ride was rained out it was okay since we had so many other activities to keep the kids busy. I'm grateful for such AMAZING friends who always come to my rescue. You guys are the best! I couldn't have done this without you.
