Ashlyn watches the Sprout channel in the mornings. Parents can send in birthday cards and they pick some to air on tv. This is the card that Joey made for Ashlyn and sent in. 
Sadly, we recorded the Sprout channel all day, and they didn't read Ashlyn's on the air. However, they did put it on their website.
Joey took off the day before Ashlyn's birthday so they could spend it together. They went and saw this movie. I don't think it was one of her favorites, because she fell asleep an hour into it. Which is very rare for Ashyln to do!
Ashlyn's party decorations. This year because we have so much going on, I opted to have a very small party for Ashlyn at our house. I just wasn't up for dealing with a big ordeal. Joey of course is like Clark Griswold and won't stand for anything to be small scale. I think we compromised somewhere in the middle.
This is the cake Katy and I made for Ashlyn. It wasn't our best work, but she loved it. I took her to the store several weeks ago and told her she could pick any kind of birthday to have. She picked Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I am very adamant on making her cake each year. When I started to research Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cakes, I realized they were pretty intense cakes. We tried our best.
This is the sign we hang each year for Ashlyn.
Ashlyn's grandparents decided to start making it a tradition to get her a balloon bouquet each year. She LOVED it!
A co-worker of Joey's has a small bounce house that he brought over for the kids to jump on. Ashlyn of course was in heaven!
We decided to do a pinata this year. What fun!
It took her a few hits to really get the hang of it.

Ashlyn finally whacked it hard enough! Time to get the candy!
Ashlyn was so excited to eat her cake. Just before, my brother whipped out this hat he bought her to wear. It was too cute!
Listening to everybody sing to her. She had the biggest smile on her face like she does every year.

Time to eat cake! Yum!
Present time!!!
Another view of the bounce house. It was a beautiful day for her party. We really got lucky!
Ashlyn really had a great party. We kept asking her if she had a good time and she said "Yes!". It was sad, when I started to take down all of the party decorations, Ashlyn came in and said, "Where did my party go?" She said it in the saddest little voice. She kept saying she wanted her party back. Next year Ashlyn, next year.
