We decided to do fun stuff just for Makenna for her birthday instead of doing a party for everyone else. It was awesome!! There was no stress. No worrying about cleaning and making sure everyone was entertained. I could concentrate solely on Makenna. And I think it was the best idea ever. We were able to do so much for her because we weren't spending big bucks on feeding others. And we still got to see everyone and spend time with everyone. It was brilliant if I do say so myself. First, on Tuesday, I took her to the museum with Travis' sister and her kids. It was her first time and she had a blast!
Then on Friday, Travis and I took her for her first time to the movies. Grandma watched Jordyn so we could have some one on one with her and we watched "Horton Hears a Who". On Saturday morning, we took her to gymboree to play and have some fun with my sister's son. They play together all the time and had a blast. We got to do a free trial thankfully since their normal rate is a little outrageous.
Saturday night, we went over to Travis' parents house and had pizza and cake. Nancy made a beautiful doll cake and she was super excited about her presents!!
And finally on Sunday (the day of her birthday), she wore a "I turn 3 today" ribbon at church and the nursery sang Happy Birthday to her. After church, we went over to my parents for dinner and cake as well. My mom made her a princess cake and my sister decorated it. It was beautiful as well. She got to play with her new house and had a great day.
I think she had a great week. It was filled with so much fun and we'd like to say thanks to everyone for their gifts. She loves them all. Ü

And after a hard played week full of fun activities, she relaxed with Papa eating some strawberries. (Check out the hand holding......so precious;)

I am glad Makenna had such a great week! Good job mom! It was so cute when she took papa's hand. He was thrilled! Perfect end to a perfect day.
That is a great idea for a 3 year olds birthday! What a great mom! It sounded like she had so much fun.
Thanks guys!! It's just so cool when our kids are old enough to get so excited and really know that it is something special just for them. It was so cool!
