Our Adventures with Noah and Kylie: Happy 3rd Birthday to Kylie!!

On October 15th, our beautiful little girl turned 3 years old. She's a big girl with a big personality. She knows exactly what she wants and doesn't waiver. She's stubborn, smart and so funny! We couldn't ask for more!!

I'm THREE!!!

We took Oreos and Cheetos in for her to share with her friends at school for snack time and since Noah was still tracked out, he was able to come celebrate with her too. And I surprised them both by getting off work early and picking them up. It was rainy out so we took a quick trip to the mall to let them play in the play area before dinner.

Kylie's choice for dinner was mac and cheese, hot dogs, and peas.... she gets that honest - that was Waylon's favorite meal growing up (minus the peas)!.... so that's what we had and then we had cupcakes and opened presents! Such a fun family night.

Noah took this one for us

Love this expression - while we were singing to her :-)

Sharing the candles with her brother

Happy Brother!

Apparently, our kids just like the icing. :-)

The aftermath

That Thursday, Grammy arrived to help us prepare for Kylie's 'friend' party on Saturday. Kylie was also sent home early from school with a fever that afternoon. :-( We already had her 3 year old physical on Friday morning and apparently it was just a virus of some sort - no ear infection or anything - and the fever was gone on Friday (luckily!). I'll have to look up her 3 year old stats but basically, as we all already know, she's big. 98th and 97th percentile for height and weight. She's ~38.5 lbs and I can't remember the height.

Friday night was a lot of prep work for the party (Thanks, Mom!!) and Saturday morning was the party!! We had decided a while ago that we'd do a pumpkin party and decorate pumpkins but then after she went to Abby's party, she decided she wanted a princess party! So I somehow convinced her that we could do a 'Pumpkin Princess' party so I worked hard to get that worked out. I think it turned out great though. She loves purple so everything was purple and orange and was really cute!!

Papa flew in for the occasion Saturday morning and of course Nana and Grandad came, along with Savannah, Andrea, Sean and several other of Kylie's good friends! We decorated pumpkins, ate yummy food, bobbed for apples, played in the playroom and on the playset outside, opened presents, sang and ate cupcakes. Such a fun, nice party!!
