!!! Rock Star Party !!!

Carlee had her 3rd birthday party recently...a Rock Star Party! Perfect for her big personality! She loves to sing and sometimes takes the floor and fields requests from the family members present.

Brent had the garage all decked out in rock star style...with a "stage", real mics and a strobe light. Before the party started, Carlee (in mismatched pajamas) gave us an early preview of her style. She started out slowly, but eventually got focused and gave it her all. Kate (in an interesting choice of red, filmy nightgown and sneakers) joined in about halfway through and they managed a rousing sister act. Carlee gets quite theatrical with her arm and hip movement. I think she tries to tap dance, too, but doesn't quite get her foot to the floor. She'll be taking dancing this fall, so I'm sure she'll be much better next year at this time.

Carlee's friends had play-doh and other activities to keep them busy
Time for the chocolate chip cookie cake!
Carlee blows out her 3 candles!
Kate takes a whack at the guitar shaped pinata
The pinata finally broke and all the kids rushed in to grab candy!
Hold on! That's not a kid...it's Tracy!
Carlee sings into a party favor...an inflatable mic

Carlee's Birthday (the REAL one!)

Carlee had her birthday party...a Rock Star Party on May 15. (I need to get some pictures posted soon. It's been almost a month.) But, her real birthday was on May 17. Not ever wanting to miss a chance to have cake, we schlepped over there and sang to her. She blew out her candles and then we all got a piece of her strawberry "cupcake cake". Aunt Robin brought her a big bag of goodies and Carlee enjoyed another day of being the star of the show...with boas and fancy flip-flops and other sparkly things!
