Birthday Day


Well we had planned to take Mckayla to the Orr family farm on her actual birthday but my back pain has been so bad, I knew I wouldn't be able walk that much so we just decided to play it by ear and do whatever Mckayla wanted to do around town! The morning started off with us singing happy birthday to her and letting her open a few presents she had from Grandma & Grandpa and from us. Since we sold the train table, we got her this little pink train set that she had seen at Toys R Us and had been wanting.
Grandma & Grandpa got her this tiny Tinkerbell castle house
And here she is with the train set all set up. I just love how this set is so girly!!!

Then later in the afternoon we finally got up and around, got ready and were off for her birthday adventure!

We went to Wal-Mart so she could ride the little 50cent ride on toy at the front of the store that she is always begging to ride on...
And she also decided she wanted some peanuts...
Then we went to Interurban to eat and she got a phone call from Emily wishing her a Happy Birthday!!
Of course we had to get a brownie ice cream sundae for dessert :) she had already gotten the dessert menu opened to its' picture before we ever even ordered our meal!
Then she kept begging to go ride the carousel at the mall (we always avoid this part of the mall so she doesn't see this ride because it $1 for a short little ride) so off we went to the mall!

Then we used what change I had left to get some candy and a toy out of the candy machines. She then decided that she wanted to go to the Disney Store and we saw the manager there who always loves talking to Mckayla and is probably the sweetest lady ever anyway! The manager then presented her with a certificate from Mickey Mouse wishing her a Happy 3rd Birthday, some coloring pages and crazyons, a princess bookmark, and a free little tote bag. Mckayla was of course overjoyed and hoping up and down with excitement and we bought her a few little Rapunzel mealtime things to round out the visit. On our way out of the mall she saw Auntie Anne's and insisted on a pretzel so, of course, since it is her birthday, we got her a small one :) THEN on her way home she wanted an icy from 7-11 so I couldn't turn her down there either! To wrap it up we pretty much rode a bunch of cheap kiddie rides and let her eat a whole bunch of junk food all day. She had a ton of fun though and that's all that matters! HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY TO OUR BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL!!!!!

What a fun day, I would love to spend my birthday the same way (perhaps doing different things, though). Happy birthday, sweet Princess Teacup Jr.

That sounds like such a perfect way to spend a birthday! I think I will start doing this for my girls as well. Make them really feel special on their big day!
