Chloe Ann 2: Happy Third Birthday!

Happy, Happy Birthday Chloe Dear!

You are THREE.

My goodness, how time flies!

We got to spend some time with Mimi in Old Town a few days before your birthday. You love spending time with Mimi so this was a great way to celebrate birthday #3. She took us all out to lunch and we did some shopping. Your dad was the entertainment... as always!

Daddy is always so silly!

On the morning of the eighth, I tried to make your birthday special. When I heard you waking up I ran downstairs to turn on a bubble machine. We had blown up balloons all around the living room. As you descended down the stairs I had a chocolate covered doughnut with sprinkles in my hands and a candle placed on top. At your new age of 3, doughnuts are something you ask for OFTEN.

Your birthday fell on a Sunday, so we had a new birthday dress for you to wear and, of course, a crown!

When we got home from church me, you and daddy hit a pinata around then you got to open presents. But still, I was feeling like we needed to do more.

So we made an exception and decided to go to McDonald's where you got to play with some of your cousins, visit with your Mimi again, and we all got ice cream. It ended up being a great day!

The week before your birthday, I decided to take you out on a mommy/daughter date. I hope to make this a tradition because it was so good for us to get out ALONE.

We dressed up... you even got to wear some of mommy's makeup (you should have seen the mean, judgmental looks I got). But you loved it!

We went to build-a-bear and you got Tallerina... she sings "Call Me Baby."

Then we ate at Chick fil A... it was your choice.

We had a great time together!
