Our Big Girl Turns 3!

On Monday morning when Aubrin woke up I wanted to scream happy birthday to her and celebrate how wonderful she is, but instead we acted like it was typical Monday morning. Our family had the busiest day on Monday. Todd and I both had to work, Todd had a baseball game and Jackson had a t-ball game. We would not be home to eat together, open presents together or have cake together, so we told Aubin her birthday was on Tuesday- UGH! I felt like a horrible mom. Although Aubrin knew no different, I did, and I felt terrible. Todd and I decided we wanted to celebrate Aubrin's birthday as a family so Tuesday it would be. So...
On Tuesday morning when Aubrin woke up, we screamed happy birthday and celebrated how wonderful she is. Todd and I both had to work, so Shelia took the kids out for a special lunch. I got home from work as fast as I could so we could start our festivities. Jackson couldn't wait to give Aubrin her present. He and I went our shopping a few weeks before. He knew exactly what he wanted to buy her.

Aubrin loved her Sleeping Beauty dress and pink baseball glove that Jackson picked out for her. She said, "Jackson, I love it so much. Thank you buddy. Come over here and give me a hug." Of course Jackson wanted to go outside and play catch with her right away. Aubrin said sure but first she needed to get into her princess dress. Then Todd and I gave Aubrin our present. She was so excited to get her pink Big Wheel.

On Saturday morning Aubrin celebrated her birthday with friends and family at her princess party. Aubrin had a great time playing with her family and friends.

We had a princess crown pinata that finally Emma and Nate cracked open for all to enjoy. Aubrin had her own princess cake to enjoy, although we never ended up cutting it because she had a cupcake instead~oh well! We were so excited that Aunt Erin came into town for the party. It meant a lot to all of us that we was able to come and be in town for less than 24 hours. Thank you Aunt Erin! Aubrin loved all of her presents. She got so many cute new clothes, an ironing board, clothes for her Bitty Baby, a princess sleeping bag, Lite Brite and a princess hop scotch game. I'm sure she will be very busy playing with all of her new treasures this summer. We were so happy that everyone could celebrate our little lady.
