Annie's 3rd Birthday

Catch up post #2: Annie's 3rd Birthday! Annie's birthday was in March! Grandma Susan came into town and made Annie's day with an amazing unicorn birthday cake - which, almost a year later, she still talks about and remembers vividly. 

We threw a little dual birthday party for Annie and her cousin, Elizabeth, because they are both only 5 days apart. (It was awesome, I visited them in the hospital having their baby while I was still in the hospital with little Annie.) So we had fun with all of their little friends celebrating Annie and Elizabeth turning three. 

This was my first time throwing a kid birthday party - and oh my gosh I loved it. The kids were so happy to do all the things we had planned and had so much fun playing with each other. It was sweet to see Annie and Elizabeth with all of their close little friends from our neighborhood, church, playgroup, etc. It was awesome. We decorated picture frames, frosted/decorated cupcakes, played "pin the horn on the unicorn" and other games and then finished with opening presents. 

This was Annie's awesome birthday present from Grandpa Gene and Mimsy. 

Tyler had fun setting up (and testing) Annie's bike the night before, and Laura had a great time playing with Annie's presents. :)

We love our Annie girl. SO grateful God blessed us with her bright, vibrant, fun little self. She is a trailblazer baby and I'm glad to be figuring out parenthood with her holding my hand.
