Lindsey's Party: the beginning

Alright, here's the attack plan. Lindsey's family party will be broken into 3 posts-presents, cake (THE BEST POST!!) and the after-party. Here's the presents post.

These first few pics are a bit out of order, but blogger doesn't move pics around very well, so they're staying here-out of order. I took Lindsey to the store to pick out a present with money courtesy of Grammy and Grandpa. She picked a cute little fake make-up/hair style set. I never would have thought she'd want it, so I'm glad she could pick it.










Lindsey all set up with her new toys-My Little Pony and her hair/makeup set.






Okay, before everyone arrived at her party-we were all ready to go! Hats and all.













So happy to see Uncle Clint (who lives in Utah). Lindsey really loves her uncles!






I had a few presents I hadn't wrapped so I locked myself in my room-here's Lindsey banging on the door, waiting for me to come out.




Nothing like some hats and some dog love!






Party Guests included:


Mommy, Daddy, Justin, Aunt Nicole,




Cousin Ryann and Maverick,





Uncle Jason,






Uncle Kyle, (and Ryann and Jason again),






our favorite Grandma Oehring,






and, baby Ryann again :) Enjoying some yummy hat!






Time to open presents! Lindsey is very blessed and got a lot of great stuff. However, it was a bit overwhelming, so she ripped open each present...
















...and proceeded to almost immediately drop it on the floor and move onto the next! Funny girl. I got a few shots of her gifts.








New umbrella courtesty of Grandma Bird that she's wanted since before Christmas.








Since Lindsey moved on so fast, Justin was right behind her to actually look at and play with her new stuff :) And she was okay with that, because as you see, she was already opening something else.




However, when she found the most coveted present of all, we all knew it!






The Ultimate Princess Set, pointed out by Lindsey with Grandma, purchased by Grandma and Opa (they had to drive far to find a ToysRUs with it in stock!) and Lindsey reminded me multiple times before her party that this is what she was getting!



Aunt Nicole helping her get out her princess stuff.








Meanwhile, Nicole and Clint had gotten Justin his birthday present for May (so they wouldn't have to mail it in a month) and we let him open it in an effort to help him not feel so left out (which he didn't anyway. He was amazing!)




Some awesome new clothes for our growing boy!! Thanks, Nicole and Clint!




All dressed up.










(not really into the picture thing)

I'm so glad we got to share in the birthday fun this year!
My favorite pic has to be the previous post with her in her pjs and her hair all over the place. That's a keeper, pull it out when she is ready to start dating:)

She's so sweet - I think she and my Katie would be two peas in a princess pod, complete with jewels, make-up, and lots of singing. Such a lovely princess!
