"Oh, that's my purple"

Ashley is convinced that whenever she sees something purple it automatically belongs to her. So for the Big Three, a purple birthday soiree seemed fitting for my Doodle. She started off being very excited about her cake....until she saw the GIFTS! She just couldn't wait to dive into that pile of presents.

Purple party goers.
Stacey & Brinley, Me & Ash, and Sarah & Ayla.

Ashley couldn't understand why we keep taking a zillion pictures.

She wanted to sit at the counter her daddy.

And finally..... Presents!

It took her a minute to understand that all the gifts were for her. I would tell her "This one is from Brinley." and then she would say oh, and try to take it over to Brinley to give to her. Soon she realized she just had to say thanks and commence ripping open the gift.

She ended up with loads and loads of handmade items from Sarah and Stacey. They spoiled her rotten! Well maybe me a little too, because now her bow holder if chuck full of beautiful flowers.

And the surprise gift, a girly trike just for her.

Now for the moment you have all been waiting for...The cake. This years creation turned out so fun. Of course being the feminine lady that she is, Ashley is infatuated with jewelry. So my mom and I topped her cake with a swivel jewelry box filled with ring pops and candy necklaces. Ashley couldn't wait to get her neck around that candy. Best of all she now has a stylin' box to put her all her treasures in.

A little nervous with everyone staring at her.

It tasted as good as it looked.

Ayla was very proud of her "Popsicle" creation

She keep riding around on her bike with her jewelry box in hand.

Finally she stopped to try some of her purple and pink cake.

I just love having a girl,
and I love that that girl is you, Ashley!

I think the best part of any birthday party is the morning after when you get to test out all your new merchandise. Here she is sporting her new necklaces, an apron, not one but two Tutus and to top off her look, a purple feather boa.

That girl is gorgeous!

Happy Birthday Sis! Mom and Dad love you.
