Shirley Temple And Harry Potter

I think it was a little more than a month ago that we went up to Logan to see James parents perform in the Children's Storytelling. We stayed at my parents :)

My parents are housing a horse for some friends and they've really come to like having the horse around.


Atalia's cruls reminded of Shirley Temple.




Quick walk to the park.










We met Grandma and Grandpa and had lunch. Then we went off to this Harry Potter thing going on at the theater where my in-laws were performing that night.

Entering the Harry Potter area.

They did the sorting hat and Atalia was Gryffindor. Awesome.

She's wearing her Gryffindor sticker.

They give you a broom and a ball and take you through a hallway and at the end, you get the ball through this wreath hanging in the air. I think Atalia got it right in the first try! I was impressed.

Then you enter a room with a lot of games. There was a potions table, a cake-walk Harry Potter theme game, and dueling with wands game. You win tickets with each game and then you can turn your tickets in for candy which included the every flavor beans.

James getting ready to duel.

James and his dad dueling with wands.


There were some book-signings and things going on that we looked around at and then walked down Main Street and stopped at this candy store. They had this game that you give a quarter to and put your hand on it and then it tells you what you are going to be.

It said Atalia would be an artist.


I think it said I would be a lawyer. I'm skeptical that it can really tell the future.

That night we watched my in-laws perform. It was so fun! They are so talented. I was glad my parents could see them perform too :) I think Atalia was really proud of her grandparents too. We all went out to eat after that and we went home the next day. Even with my energy being so low, it was still lots of fun!

It's Her Birthday Party

Atalia Rae Hansen turned THREE!!
I don't like how quickly she's growing!

These pictures turned out blurry :( I hate my camera.. but at least I have one, I guess.
The decor




The cake is a bit messy looking, but I'm still happy with how it turned out.

We did a cupcake fondue. I got the idea here. I ended up changing up the frosting with melted white chocolate, I liked it much more. For toppings we did oreo crumbs, sprinkles, chopped up Heath, chopped Andes Mints, these tiny marshmallows that we found, and chopped up Reese Cups.


Poppie and Mimi came up for her Birthday Party.
And brought a tub of presents lol.








We decided that she could open 3 presents, since she is turning 3, before going to the movies.



Showing how old Atalia is.


We went to go see The Lorax. Even if the movie isn't very good, it's just always fun taking her to the movies :)

Afterwards, we went and took her to Build-a-bear. She got a cute orange kitty that she named, Robot.
She passed out in the car ride home. She NEEDED this little cat nap, she was getting grouchy.

We went home and opened the rest of her presents, one of them being this super hero costume!
She loves it! She asks to wear it everyday.






Showing her muscles. Lol why do kids always show their elbows?



HAppy Birthday Atalia!

It was a yummy cake. Yummm.

She wanted to sit with Poppie and Mimi on the couch.


A very happy Birthday! We love you so much Atalia!

We spent the rest of the night relaxing and playing with Atalia's new toys.
