 first thing on Jada's birthday - open presents! |
 Alphabet Train Puzzle |
 A colorful box from Grandma Donie... |
 What is it!? |
 Kinda loud (but you can turn off the music) remote control train. |
 We went out into the living room just in time to see a balloon go by |
 Gotta play with the new train stuff! |
 Jordan like Jada's birthday too |
 The new crane is fun |
 Craig, Leann, and Nicole drove up for the party |
 Uncle Craig is a good climber |
 I don't know why, but little kids LOVE party hats |
 Blowing noise makers in Aunt Leann's face |
 Jordan and Nicolr swinging |
 Party guests start to arrive - Mallory and her Mom |
 Mara and her Dad, John |

 In case you didn't know, Jada is 3 years old! |

 Lighting the candles |
 Getting ready to blow out the candles |
 Trying to blow from down low doesn't work so good |
 Here's a better angle! |
 All the kiddos took the cake outside |
 opening more presents |
 Puffy Stickers! |
 a present from Mason |
 Momentarily distracted by the previous present... |
 Mallory (she's FIVE already) steps in to help re-focus Jada on the task |
 and Mason helps her open - a cool wind-up train! |
 Jada says, "Enough of that...on to the next one!" |
 I like playing with my camera - shooting from way down low |
 Jada got LOTS of new art supplies |
 As the party winds down, Mama sports a new hat |
 All done! Time to relax in front of the TV for a bit. |
 Jada in her birthday hat and birthday suit |
 Sitting pretty! |
