So it has been 6 months since my last post...wow! So many things have happened since then, but I wanted to to fill you all in on our latest celebration, Mary Kate's 3rd birthday. I just cannot believe that it has been 3 years already. I can still remember the moment she was born was put on my chest. I was in love instantly and that love has only grown stronger each day!
This year, Mary Kate's birthday was on a Monday, so we chose to have her party the Saturday before her actual birthday, January 21st. Over the past year, Mary Kate has really started to like Minnie Mouse. We watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse regularly and Minnie is most definitely her favorite! Several months ago, we decided to have Minnie Mouse be the theme for her birthday party. She was all about Minnie being the theme when we asked her and was super excited to pick out her party supplies.
This year, we had her party at a local inflatables place called Game Time. We really lucked out with the weather being beautiful, despite the cold temperatures, last year and decided not to chance that again. God knew what He was doing when he gave us that idea because not only did it rain, it poured and there were severe thunderstorms and tornadoes in the area that day!
We invited all of the family, as well as some of Mary Kate's best friends from school, to celebrate her big day. Mary Kate blew out her candles and everyone ate cake before she opened her presents. After tearing through some awesome gifts, Mary Kate and her cousins and friends played for over an hour on the inflatables. Mills was probably the most fun to watch because in the course of an hour, he learned to climb up the steps and slide by himself on these huge slides and inflatables. The kids ran from one thing to the next, laughing and screaming all the while. At the end of the party, all of the kids seemed beat, but in a good way. I am so thankful that so many people came to celebrate with us!
On her actual birthday, Mary Kate woke up to a room filled with pink balloons. She loved this, and so did Mills! Unfortunately, Mary Kate was not feeling well on her birthday and had to go to the doctor with mommy and Mills, who was also sick. Even though I hated that she felt bad, I was glad to have a good reason to be home with her on her actual birthday, especially since this is the first birthday that she has had on a weekday.
After the doctor's visit was over, we went to pick up her medicine and she got to see her Randadday. She was so excited. I also let her choose somewhere special to go pick up lunch from, and she chose pizza, so we got Pizza Hut. After a dose of oral steroids and a breathing treatment, she seemed to feel much better.
Again, I just cannot believe that 3 years have gone by so quickly. Mary Kate has grown into a beautiful, loving, affectionate, and intelligent little girl. She brings us such joy with her sweet demeanor, most of the time that is. With all of the changes she has made in the past 3 years, I cannot imagine what the next 3 hold. Happy 3rd Birthday Princess!!
