Kate's 3rd Birthday Party

Our little Aggie wanted a "princess-mermaid-bounce house-cinderella-Ariel-Barbie-plus" birthday party. I kept asking and wondering what we could do because her theme changed daily and I admit I love a good party theme! Chris thought of an ice cream party! It was perfect for her ... filled the backyard with splash pools, made homemade ice cream with all of the toppings, and had a blast with her little girlfriends from school, friends from church, sweet neighbors and all of her cousins, uncles, aunts, and grandparents.

Meme, Lalee, and Aunt Amy ... afterwards with the family for lunch

We were blessed to have both of our brothers and their wives and their six children and both sets of grandparents in town this weekend for the party. We have a close family that travels often to be together - and we are so thankful for them all. Kate had a wonderful day of fun with all of her friends and family and cake and ice cream. I cannot believe she is turning 3 ... I mean, I love the fact that we no longer have diapers and sippy cups in this home, that she can go to school and the church nursery without a complete and total meltdown, that she can wear floaties and function on her own in a swimming pool, that she can put her hair in pig-tails, that she can pedal her big wheel bike, that she can make us laugh on purpose ... and more ...but three years have flown by... I sometimes wish it would just s-l-o-w down :).
to being 3 ...
