Birthday Weekend!

Whew! It's been a busy (but fun) birthday weekend at our house! Caroline turned three, and I can't even believe it's gone by so fast! She is just growing before our very eyes, and it seems she is bigger and learns more each and every day!

It began on Saturday when Aunt Vicki and Aunt Janis decided to have a birthday party for Caroline at the park with the cousins in town. It was so sweet to see then all play together, and so thoughtful of my sister-in-laws. Thanks so much, y'all!

Sunday, we had my parents and brother and sister-in-law over for burgers and to just hang out. That was fun, and very low key. Caroline and Eric had a ball, and we enjoyed visiting with everyone.

Then on Monday (Daddy's day off) we decided to go to the bounce house place in the mall with Daddy. It was a little touch and go in the beginning, but by the end, we had to tear the kids away from all the fun. It was a great weekend!

Happy Birthday, sweet girl! We love you so!

What we arrived to at the park - so cute. I think Caroline was a little overwhelmed at the beginning (okay, a lot overwhelmed), but I think she really had fun once she settled in. (She's kind of like her Daddy - not so sure about suprises!)

Eric wouldn't let the ball out of his sight!



Three of the cousins: Caroline, Aidan, and Luke



Eric and Buggy reading a book - nice hats, guys.




Chowin' down on some birthday grub




Playing with the puppies that came with one of her new Barbies




Eating a chocolate cupcake with blue icing - of course!







Caroline got a new Dora scooter. She wasn't too sure about it at first, but Eric sure liked it!




Eric in the bounce house. He's not too sure about it yet.




Caroline and Ellie climbing up the tallest slide





She started to slide down, but changed her mind at the last minute. Oops - too late - she's already sliding down! If you enlarge it, I'm pretty sure that's a look of terror on her face!




They really liked sliding down this one slide while holding hands - so cute!



So fun!
