Our Little Princess is Three!!!

Bailey turned 3 last week! It's so amazing to think that, in a blink of an eye, our princess is growing up so fast!

We started off the morning with presents. It's hard to tell who was more excited, Taysum or Bailey! My camera has a nice feature on it called blur reduction. It's great for "trying" to take pictures of kids. However, even blur reduction doesn't help when we have a birthday at our house! :)
Sometimes I get worried whether or not our kids will like the gifts we get them. We did pretty well with Bailey, though! She loved all the gifts we got for her. She loves animals and farms, so we got a Little People tractor with farm animals. Who'd have ever thought about going birthday shopping at McDonald's!? However, they have been giving Littlest Pet Shop toys in their Happy Meals. When we were going to Denver, Bailey got one and she LOVED it! I had been wanting to get some LPS toys for her anyway, so I bought all the different types of animals they had. They were really nice about it and helped me find all the different animals: koala, armadillo, giraffe, bird, cat, dog, and ferret. She also LOVES Toy Story, so we got the movie Toy Story 2 for her, a poster, and a stuffed Woody and Buzz. Taysum quickly adopted these two! She was very happy!
That evening, we had a birthday party for her in the park, which was perfect for her! Every night we talk about what made each person in our family happy that day. A lot of times she will say that playing in the park made her happy, even if we didn't go to the park that day! Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle Tyler, CJ, Quinn, and Carissa came, too!

Bailey LOVES cats, so this is my try at a kitty cake. I must say that Mr. Potato Head parts make for great cake decorators! She wanted rainbow cake (party chip) and white ice cream (vanilla bean).
It was a little windy and the match box I brought only had one match in it. It broke when I struck it and went out before I could light the candles. So she just pretended to blow out the candles and she was totally fine with that!

Another great love! Dora!
Uncle Tyler is SO GREAT with the kids! It's going to be so sad when he leaves for college next week! We're just trying not to think about it right now, though!
Hayden was so cute in his little hat!
In May I did a post called "I Baydee" and I wrote about all the fun facts about Bailey: what she loves and the fun things she does and says. We sure love our little princess! We think she is just adorable and she makes life so fun! She has a temper, that's for sure, but I'm sure one day we'll look back on even her screaming with some fondness! ;) Since we only get one girl, we're sure glad we got her! We love you so much, little B!!
