Everyone always says "enjoy this time because it goes so fast." On March 30, 2012, I couldn't have agreed more as my "baby" celebrated her third birthday complete with a Chinese food party and an Olivia (her favorite books) birthday cake! Olivia did not last long however (as Evie decapitated her pretty quickly in order to eat her) but we celebrated into the evening a very special little gal! We even got a special visit from our friends, The Thousands, all the way from Wisconsin to wish Evie a special day!
Evie got a new sandbox from Grandpa Dave and Grandma Allyson! She and Titus both love it (Titus mostly loves eating or throwing the sand), although the box proved to be the favorite toy the following morning!
That same weekend, Evie and Grandma Lucie made a popcorn ball lamb in honor of Palm Sunday! It's hard to say who enjoyed the lamb more: Evie making it or Mommy eating it! No wonder Evie stated that same day, "Mommy, I don't need a treat after lunch. Grandma Lucie can be my treat. Not to chew on, but to love on!"
The morning of Evie's birthday, Dad took time off work and we headed to her favorite place "Mall of My Mericas" to visit the sharks at Underwater World and have lunch at Rain Forest Cafe. We solidified our thoughts there that Titus is indeed afraid of storms, but pretty ladies sitting next to us oddly suddenly made his tears stop!
The following Monday, we took Evie, Titus and three neighborhood friends to Pump It Up to continue the celebration! I have never seen more red and sweaty three year olds than I did that night! They had a blast jumping in bouncy houses and sliding down slides that were so fast, they had to have bumpers to stop them at the bottom! Thank goodness Grandma and Grandpa joined us to help, as we were almost as sweaty as them by the end of the night, just trying to keep up!
Decorating Easter Eggs with Jackson and Krista Bull...
We headed to Little Falls for Easter this year and the kids enjoyed their Easter Egg Hunts (especially the nickels Grandpa Dave put inside the eggs), as well as playing with their "cousins" Molly and Luke and driving Grandpa's Purple Jeep (I would suggest staying off Highway 212 in about 13 years...yikes!)!
