Katie's 3rd Birthday!

My little baby girl is three!!  How did this happen??  She is growing up so much and becoming quite the little lady.  She is becoming more and more beautiful everyday and I think we'll have to watch out for the boys when she's older!

At three years old she is full of both sugar and spice.  She can be very sweet one minute and totally obnoxious the next!  She loves to sing along with songs on the radio but she doesn't like anyone listening to her.  If she notices you watching her, she will stop singing and immediately put on a grumpy face.  She loves all princesses, Frozen is probably her favorite movie, she likes Sophia the First, reading stories, bubbles, and playing in water!  She is both super clumsy and super coordinated...if that's possible.  She in constantly running into chairs, couches, walls, etc.  She falls of chairs during dinner, couches, beds, and pretty much anything else she sits on.  She biffs/face-plants it almost every single Sunday walking into church in front of everyone.  However, she is super good at catching and throwing balls.  She also loves to throw balls up and spike them like a volleyball and she is pretty good at it!  She is very talkative and knows how to make us laugh.

We debated between a Sophia and a Frozen birthday party for her but we ended up on Sophia.  We had some little girls from church come over for a Sophia Slumber Party.  The girls dressed up in princess pajamas, decorated crowns, learned to walk with books on their heads and race holding eggs on a spoon, and then then went upstairs to the slumber party.  I had filled the play room with blankets, pillows, sleeping bags, balloons, streamers, and other decorations.  I also had Katie's toddler slide up there and had borrowed a couple of small trampolines for them to play on. The girls each got a snack bag and then watch a slumber party Sophia the first.  It was lots of fun!  Little girls are so much fun!  

We love our little girl and look forward to what the next year will bring us!

The next day we had birthday cake (my very first homemade icecream cake!) and opened presents from mom and dad.  Katie got a princess castle tent and was super excited about it!
