I cannot believe our first baby is 3. I love this age. Since she entered the terrible twos at about 18 months old, thankfully, she exited them about 6 months ago. Fits still come, but are nothing like the past. Thank you, God!!!! and yes, thank you, God, for our precious, full of life, hilarious, smart, silly, energetic, strong willed, sweet, brother loving Alex. We are so blessed!
We celebrated Alex's 3rd birthday on her birthday last weekend princess style as she requested a castle cake with princess figurines. We had a lovely time with lots of family and a few friends.
My 4th cake to make for my kiddo's birthdays. This was by far the tallest and most involved! Alex has already asked for another castle cake for next year - ha! Mommy gently said no and told her to wait until next year before deciding on a 4th birthday theme :)

Reece was the only kiddo who could come from Alex's MMO class. He was a sweetie!

I pulled out all the tricks in the bag to keep my kiddos busy while I worked on Alex's cake. However, I still managed to pull a midnight plus night the night before. Chris snuck in and took pics of me at midnight putting the finishing touches on the cake. Those pics will remain tucked away as I had not showered in like 2 days and was working off of adrenaline as I was exhausted. Chris doesn't understand why I do this to myself and tells me to go buy a cake. I just can't...yet.
We took the kiddos biking for the first time in this bike trailor we got from a friend before Alex was born. The kids had a blast!!! It was so fun!

David had a go at sushi while he joined mommy and daddy on a lunch date while Alex was at MMO one day. I think he liked it :)
