The Girls Birthday Morning

We spent the girls' 3rd birthday morning/Valentine's Day doing pretty much what we always do on a Saturday morning. Sam had to leave for work at 7:00 am because it is tax season...boo! The kids and I spent a lazy morning around the house and went to the gym. After we finished at the gym we met Sam at Chik fil A, and headed home to give the girls their gifts! Ella Cate...3 years old

Emmy...3 years old (not in the picture taking mood...never is...she had been crying because I was taking too many pictures...this is the only decent one I got of her that morning...:( )

Carson enjoyed his doughnut too! After eating I let the kids open their Valentines gifts. Cade got a new basketball, Car got a Tonka truck, and the girls got a Hello Kitty shirt and fingernail polish.

The Fun

Lots of fun was had at The Little Gym. It was perfectly planned and very well organized by the 2 party hostesses! Far worth the pretty penny that we spent to have the party there!

The Cake

The girls chose a Hello Kitty 2 tiered cake from Cooper Street Bakery. It was super cute and really yummy! All was well until the leftovers slid on the floor board of my van on the way home from the party!

The Presents

The girls had alot of fun opening their presents from friends and family. They got bunches of makeup, Barbies, and cute clothes! There was only a minor meltdown when someone wrapped both of their presents in one bag, and they had to share the responsibility of opening it together! Uncle Caleb took over camera duty at this point so that Sam and I could help them open the gifts!
