Ansley's Cookie Decorating 3rd Birthday Party!

This past Sunday we had Ansley's 3rd Birthday Party at our house. We have decided to make it an annual theme of "decorating cookies". It is the perfect time of year for this and the kids just love it! It was a great crazy weekend already with all the other Christmas parties, etc. that we had but I then had to get ready for Ansley's party. Thankfully, Mimi and Pop's came into town to help us out with babysitting so we could go to a party on Saturday night and then helped out with the preparations for Ansley's party.

We had planned on having a bounce house as well at her party but the weather was too nasty so we just stuck to the cookie decorating. With 14 kids, it was hysterical watching them decorate their cookies. Most of them just dumped the entire thing of sprinkles onto their sugar cookie and some really put the icing on and then decorated it. They of course were on the biggest sugar high afterwards and I am sure did not take naps for their mommy and daddy :) Ansley definitely did not nap, but all-in-all, it was a wonderful party shared with great friends! We can't wait til next year.... well maybe I can, I am too exhausted to plan any more parties right now.
