Andy and Ashlyn's 3rd Birthday Party.

The Plan: Rent a slide bounce house....call it a day!
The problem: El Nino hit with 5 days of the craziest rain resulting in a flooded back yard.
Dilemma: 20 kids 5 years and younger coming to my house....how will we ever entertain them all????? I was seriously panicked!!!
The Idea: Friday morning I had the grandest idea: All we needed was some snow.
Result: My husband loving my idea and making it happen. 7:00AM Saturday morning a truck load of snow was delivered to our home. Coolest thing EVER and it was a perfectly beautiful day!
The kids got to sled.Throw snowballs.And enjoy the hot chocolate bar.
Even the dads and Grandpas had fun!It was a CARS and Cinderella theme.I love the way Andy and Ashlyn are looking at each other before we sang Happy Birthday.I felt so bad for Ashlyn while blowing out her candles. They were too far away from her and apparently her little lungs aren't that strong so after a few attempts she still couldn't blow them out so she left crying. She made up for it that night when we went out to dinner though. She had no problem blowing those candles out!One of these days I swear I will figure out how to manage present opening times 2.
So far, every year it has been chaos!

Andy was super excited to get his "Big Buzz"and Woody from Grandma and Grandpa P.And anything Princess makes this little girl happy.Happy Birthday Andy and Ashlyn! We hope you had a fun day!
Thanks to all our family and friends who came to celebrate with us.
We feel so lucky to be surrounded by so many great people!

What a fun idea! Do you guys even get snow where you live? Where did you "order" snow? Anyway, super cute--I can't imagine--20 kids!!

Good job thinking on your toes Tanya. Looks like a lot of fun :)

I was wondering where you got the snow also. Someone with a pickup truck or dump truck I assume? Too bad we live so far away, I'd love to get rid of our snow (and the upcoming storm front)!
