Third birthday party!
Quinn and her mommy and daddy are very blessed to have such warm, loving family and friends. Everyone she loves helped her to celebrate her third birthday, whether they could be here in person or not. We are grateful that she is so loved.
On with the pictures!
Just before the party started...
With our first guest, Grandma Lester!
This is Quinn's cousin Cooper, who is so handsome and boyish in his cutie patootie fresh and fruity outfit! SO CUTE WITH HIS BIG BLUE EYES!!!
Dennis and my cousin Jennifer's husband Paul talking about their favorite Lifetime movies.
"Why am I bothering taking this picture?" I asked my friend Colleen's husband Doug as I leaned over the cake. "No one cares about the cake shot. No one!" Maybe it was to capture some of the eBay decorations for posterity. 
My sister Julie got ahold of Colleen's new baby, Connor, as soon as she could. Connor says, "You're nice, but you're not my godmother!"
My cousin Cathy in her native habitat, the kitchen, working her ass off. She's just the best.
Everyone is singing "Happy Birthday" to Quinn...except for Peggy...who is inexplicably examining the artwork...
Quinn and a table full of blonde children.
COLLEEN with my godson. She looks good for having a newborn, doesn't she? She's just the best.
Quinn ate her cake SO CAREFULLY so as not to mess up her Dorothy dress. I don't think I've seen her eat so neatly in all her born years.
Colleen's daughter Baylee attended wearing a white leather jacket, which reminded everyone present whose daughter she is.
"I MADE A POTATOHEAD!" Quinn shrieked, unfazed by the four eyeballs staring up at her.
My cousin Cathy's daughter Laura. Isn't this a pretty picture? She's a dreamboat.

You forgot to mention that Quinn greeted every person who arrived at the door, screaming "I am Door-Fee!" What a cutie pie! Thanks for posting the pix so fast, too.

No wonder Quinn didn't want to take off her Dorothy costume! She's totally darling in it!* 'Course I'm a little biased - I think Quinn is a cutie-pie all the time.* Thanks for sharing the pictures of her 3rd birthday. Her cake and the decorations look awesome.

Happy Birthday, Quinn! I can't believe you're three. Also, you're absolutely the cutest Dorothy I've ever seen. I grew up with a friend who was obsessed with the Wizard of Oz--she's now one of six main cast members in a show off Broadway. It's the kind of movie that inspires greatness. :)

There are additional photos of the party on Cooper's website at: http://www.homesight.org/us/PhotoPages/2004/2004-10/photos2004-10.htmlGranted, there are an awful lot of Cooper photos, but there are some really good ones of Quinn, especially on the second page of 10/17...
