Greta Bean's third birthday party
Greta's birthday party was yesterday, and things went off without a hitch, other than the wine glass I broke (mazal tov?).
Greta and her best buddies had fun playing together. The most popular toy? The box our dishwasher came in.
Colin looking out the "window."
The Princess of St. Patrick's Day making a necklace.
Maddie jumping for joy (notice Greg modeling the necklace Maddie made).
A group shot.
Everyone was very generous with the gifties. (Girl got A LOT of pink.)
As an aside, I can be booked as entertainment for children's parties. Look, Nathan loves me; Greta is ignoring me as usual.
We had ice cream cake and ice cream cupcakes from Cold Stone Creamery. Greta wanted to have Cinderella on her cake, so I put a Cinderella Pez dispenser on the cake in hommage to our wedding cake (which had bride and groom Pez cake toppers).
Here is my favorite shot from the day. Greta and Hoppa.
We don't seem to have good shots of the Reeds (d'oh), but a HUGE thank you goes out to them for coming out Friday night to babysit so Pat and I could go see a show at Waterstreet and for helping us yesterday morning.
Also a big thank you to Rebecca for providing the main course, my parents for providing the wine and a monstrous fruit plate, and Christy for letting us borrow her beautiful cake plate. Seriously, I basically just showed up.
Thanks to everyone who joined us!

#1 Happy Birthday to Greta!
Fran, I love the pictures!!! I can't believe how the time flies by. I was just thinking today how strange it is to be registering Luke for 3 year old preschool for next year! It's exciting yet a little bit sad at the same time to see our babies grow up!!! She looks great - as you all do - and I'm glad you had such a great party!
#2 Yay!
Frankie - I'm so glad you enjoyed the dessert! (And I'm glad I wised up this year and decided to buy dessert instead of try to make it!) I enjoyed the Cold Stone cake especially, and the cupcakes were nothing to shake a stick at, but nothing beats a Carvel cake with the little cookie pieces in it.
#3 Greta's Party!
Thanks for the great time! HANDS DOWN, the BEST birthday desserts EVER!!!!
#4 ice cream cupcakes
Yes, and they had dark chocolate shell "wrappers." So good.
#5 Fun!
Ice cream cupcakes? I think I need one NOW!
Looks like a fun party!
