Lauren's Party

Lauren's Invitation

Lauren had her 3rd birthday party at "Color Me Mine" - pottery painting place.  She did pretty good when it came to painting the plate, just not sure what type of design she was making.  We were surprised to see how embarrassed she was when we all sang Happy Birthday to her.  She hid and acted upset.  Weird?  She is not like her mother, who LOVES her birthdays.

Chris and Lauren pose for a quick pic before our guests arrive

Lauren's Cake - Mariano's cake was delish and very reasonable in price (thanks Erin Fasse for the suggestion to go there)

I had to blow out the candles, since she was not wanting to do that

Ready to eat cake - who isn't?

Max (Alissa's son) was very eager to paint and then to have cake

Mackenzie had to check out the new goods.

Lauren's keepsake plate.  The guests came up with the words to describe her and then her hand print in on the cupcake in purple - her favorite color (that day).
