I can't believe my baby girl is 3 years old!! Her birthday was November 16th and we had a weekend of celebration. Since our house is under construction we couldn't do our traditional birthday party at the house so I had to come up with an alternative plan. I'm not much of a risk taker, so planning a park day was too nerve wracking for me. We don't have a Chuck E. Cheese in Gainesville and I didn't feel like she was old enough to attempt a bowling party yet. So...we decided to go to Build-A-Bear in the mall on Friday, the 13th. Not the best day...but I'm not much into superstitions. We invited several of her friends for the party and then went to the food court for lunch and a YUMMY Mrs. Field's cookie! The kids seemed to enjoy it...and for the most part it was a stress-free party for me! It was a bit chaotic actually building the 'bears' since the kids ranged from 18 months old to 4 years old, but I will say that just showing up and leaving the clean up to someone else was NICE!!
On her actual birthday she celebrated again. Nanny and Papa took her to Walmart to pick out her very own cake and to the park just for fun! She had a GREAT day. That night, I made lasagna and Caesar salad for us and Nanny and Papa and Uncle Deagan and Aunt Lis!
It was so enjoyable to watch her open her gifts this year. She would peek inside the bags and then literally start shaking with excitement while yelling, "Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness!!" It was so much fun. Uncle Deagan said it was more fun than his birthday. It really was very enjoyable! We got her a Baby Alive to help her with adjusting to the new baby in February. Nanny and Papa got her her very own camera...'which no one can take away!' She got LOTS of Barbie stuff which she LOVES and plays with EVERY day and tons of other goodies, too!
I said it before...I'll say it again... I can't believe my baby is 3 years old! My how the time has flown and how blessed I feel to be her Mommy!
