Kylie’s Birthday Party

Today was Kylie’s third birthday party, and overall it was a very nice day. I have to admit that I was very worried in the morning as it had been raining all morning and we had no backup plan, as the party was an out door party. At one point we had even planned on canceling the picnic and just ordering pizza. The party was supposed to start at 12:30 and go until 2:30 and as of 11am it had just finished raining but was still really cloudy. We tried to see if we could have the party inside the club house, but because it was during business hours, and the office is in the club house, we couldn’t. So we had to continue on with our original plan and hope that for a few hours we had some good weather and didn’t get rained on again.

As the time drew closer for the start of the party the sun did come out and it actually became very warm and humid. Daddy had to keep running back to the apartment to get things that he had forgotten the first time and we had some problems getting the grill to light. So Daddy had to run to the store to get some igniter fluid, but eventually Papa was able to get the grill going and make some hamburgers and hot dogs for everyone.

A couple of Kylie’s friends from school were able to come out for the party along with our family and the party was very nice. Kylie got some nice gifts and had fun running around with her friends. We took some pictures of the party and Kylie opening her gifts, and once I have them ready they will be added to the gallery.

After the party Uncle Chris, Aunt Tracey, Delaney and Madelyn came over for a little while to visit and play with Kylie. I am glad the weather held out and it turned out to be a nice day, because all morning I had been stressing out very badly over the weather and what we were going to do. I guess things have a way of working themselves out.
