Yay! Elliot turned 3! Like a month ago. And I am just now getting around to posting about it. Some of you may be saying "I wonder if she is going to get around to sending out thank you notes?" Funny, I wonder that too!
But for now, I am just proud to be doing this.
So every year I put a ton of effort into Elliot's birthday and make really cute decorations, and then forget to take pictures of them. So this year I made sure to capture the little details. The theme was "Peanut Butter and Jelliot", in honor of Elliot and her favorite sandwich.
PB&J Skewers
Salads
Two kinds of cupcakes, Purple Swirl and PB&J.
You can't be too careful with all those peanut allergies!
The goodie bags. (Goodie bag cred to my Mom, who put these together. Thanks, Mom!)
The banner. Hands down the most time-consuming element.
Paper chain, made with love with the help of Auntie Danielle while she was in town.
But the thing was, Elliot did not give two shakes about the awesome décor. All that mattered to her was the BOUNCY HOUSE!
It was quite a bit larger than what we expected from the picture we saw online. Notice it dominates our real house. That girl loves to bounce. And bounce she did from the moment they dropped it off the night before, until they came to pick it up the day after her party.
We also did the other traditional birthday things, like...
...play with friends,
...blow out birthday candles,
...open presents,
...and pose for the annual birthday doorway shot. (What? That's not a thing.)
After everyone left she jumped some more. But this time in her underwear. Ok, ok! Her diaper.

It's a good day if it ends with your hair looking like this.
Good job, parents. You've made it through another year.
