Three Years Old!

My little baby girl is three years old now. I can't believe it. We had a very fun day for her birthday. Luckily Alison's birthday landed on a Tuesday so we were able to spend the morning at her ECFE class. It was a beautiful day so I made the kids picnic lunches and we ate outside. After naptime, Bryant came home early and we headed off to dinner at the Rainforest Cafe at the Mall of America (we did this for her 2nd birthday last year).

As a point of reference, here is Alison enjoying her dessert at the Rainforest Cafe last year for her second birthday:





And this year for her third birthday:





What a difference a year makes!!

We topped the night off by riding some rides (yes, even Alison rode a few!) at Nickelodeon Universe. Unfortunately no pictures of the birthday girl on the rides because I was with her on most of them; however, our crazy man Christopher once again rode the carousel four times with daddy and loved every minute of it!



We closed down the mall at the American Girl store (strategically placed right by the amusement park...they're marketing geniuses). The birthday girl got her first American Girl Bitty Baby Twin whom she has named "Hona." Hona is now Alison's new best friend and she has quickly become the fifth member of this family.

What a fun day. My baby girl is 3! Yeah!!!
