Someone turned 3!

I was so excited to set this up for Annabelle to see the morning of her birthday this past week. She has watched all the rest of us have our birthdays over the past few months and I was happy to let her have her turn. She saw this little stick pony at the Dollar Store a couple of months ago and really loved it so I went back later and got it for her birthday. I also got the banner and balloons there.

This package from Grandma and Grandpa Clove and Aunt Sug came the day before her birthday and it was hard work to wait until the next morning to open it. She was ready right away.

Katie is reading the card she made for Annabelle who seems a bit distracted by the balloon.This is what Katie wanted to write on the card: "Your special day will never end....never!"

Mmmm. Sweet cereal. Only on birthdays. She also had some oatmeal afterwards like she does every morning.That evening we went to Chuck E. Cheese's. We went in November for Katie's birthday and Annabelle was excited to go back for her big day.

I was surprised at how much Natalie enjoyed the rides. She loved it!

My Mom's face got blocked in this one but I loved Natalie's smile. This was the first ride she sat on. She was totally reaching for it so my Mom set her on it and her face lit up. Notice Katie running in the background.My Dad had to go out of town on Annabelle's birthday but my Mom and my sister Jenny met us at Chuck E. Cheese's with a puppy dog cake that my Dad had cut out and my Mom frosted.

Happy Birthday Annabelle!!
