Ashlyn is going to be 3 next Tuesday, Wil is going to be out of town then, so we did her party tonight. It was a lot of fun. She wanted a D D D D D Dora party. It actually worked out pretty good. We did pizza, then we went on a hunt for the Big Pinata that Swiper stole. Along the way swiper had dropped some of the prizes from the pinata and we picked them all up along the way, then when Ashlyn found the rope, she was supposed to pull on it to find the big pinata, but she freaked out thinking that it was going to be an actual swiper that would pop out...oh well! So we went through the big tunnel, then opened the gate by saying open in spanish, then went around the berry tree 3 times, then over to the rope where the pinata was. The kids had fun, then we hooked up the pinata and let everyone have a turn trying to knock it down, then Wil broke it open for us. Wil thought it was funny that we kept having to tell the kids there is still more candy, go get it... Then we sang happy birthday and did cake. Everyone liked picking which piece of the dora cake they wanted, then Ashlyn opened her presents. Thanks to everyone who came. She had a great birthday party. Glad some of her nursery friends could come help celebrate. It was great to have Lexi there too! And she was so excited that Dean and Elle wanted to come to her Dora party...thanks again. To my Ashlyn, we love you sweet little girl!

You are seriously the funnest mom! Sorry to hear about your night at the ER. Hope things work out okay!
You did a great job on the party girl! Carter had a lot of fun! Happy Birthday Ashlyn! We had fun at your Dora party!
The party was so fun! Dean loved it as you could tell!
D-d-d-d-Dora! Happy birthday Ashlyn! You sure know how to throw a party. Abbey keeps saying something along the lines of 'rapido!' which I can only assume she's picking up from Dora, ha ha!
Lexi screamed all the way home because she wanted to go back to the party, lol. Even though she was a little stand off-ish for most of it she had a fun time and kept talking about swiper all night (after she quit throwing a fit).
I think the Dora idea was totally awesome! It's neat that you did something other than just the pinata. I was thinking about doing Word World for Kolton and trying to make a cake like one of the animals. We'll see.
