Happy 3rd Birthday, Katie!!!

It's so hard to believe that my baby is 3 years old today. Katie is growing up so quickly and amazes me daily with the (mostly good) things she says and does. Now, if we could just get her to buy into our "big 3 year olds don't do that" brainwashing everything would be golden. Hope you have a wonderful day, Pie! We love you!!

We were in Phoenix this past weekend and celebrated Katie's birthday there. Thanks to all of our family for toughing it out in the cold and rain for Katie's party. It means a lot to us to have everyone there to celebrate together.

Katie completing the first task of the hunt


Paige saying, "I see the flowers!" at the end of the hunt
(Steph, you'll have to give me a training session on how you do this and some of the other cute hairstyles you do for Paige.)


Abby playing pin the tail on Swiper


Katie blowing out the one candle that we managed to have lit at the end of singing "Happy Birthday" (It was breezy.)


Katie said that her favorite part of the day was the cake. That made every minute I spent decorating this cake worth it.


Katie enjoyed opening every card and made Daddy read all of them to her.
