We've enjoyed a full week getting ready for Katie's 3rd birthday party! One of the projects on Daddy's list was getting the two trees that have died cut down. We had a small tree in the front and a big pine tree in the back to cut down and haul off. Katie was a big help, as usual and used her rake to help Daddy clean up all the little branches.
We're making future garden plans and one of the gardens is a hexagon shaped butterfly garden around a stump in the backyard. Daddy was working on the angles of the garden using scrap trim and Katie was right there helping him. She had fun putting the different angles together and playing with a few of Daddy's tools.
We went to Shelli and Evan's for tot school this week and had lots of fun learning about leaves. Katie and Evan raked up leaves and hauled them away in Evan's tractor.....
....Audrey got to have some fun with leaves, too.
The kiddos also read a story about Clifford and leaves...
At home Katie made another tree using tissue paper and practiced her gluing.
Katie likes to climb into Audrey's jumper. The little goofball, she hated this thing when she was a baby and now she loves it lol!
Audrey trying on part of her owl costume.
We learned about apples at story time. Katie and Morgan laid on the carpet and chatted about Morgan's baby doll during story time.
While waiting for Cindy to come take Katie's 3-year-old pictures Daddy fell asleep while Lillie and Katie cuddled.
Katie woke up Saturday morning to the house decorated in her current favorite princess, Ariel!
We gave her our gift early that morning so she could enjoy it before the party.
Caleb, Grandmother, Aunt Vicki, Daddy and Audrey relaxing in the den. Audrey was a little overwhelmed by all the people and noise.
The kiddos enjoyed playing outside.
I wish I would have thought and got more pictures of Katie with individual people but, I did get this adorable picture of Katie and Ms. Julie.
The kiddos wolfed down their cake then, headed back outside.
Katie did so good opening her gifts and thanking people. We were really proud of her for being such a big girl and being so thankful to everyone.
The day after the party Katie got to play with every one of her new toys. She colored on her Cinderella art table, played with all her playsets and sang all the Ariel songs at the top of her lungs!
Audrey is now sitting up so well by herself! Such a big girl!
One of the new things that we've been looking forward to and that is one of the best things to see as a parent is the girls playing together. Katie hands Audrey toys and talks to her while Audrey smiles and babbles at Katie. They are both such sweethearts I know they'll have so much fun as they grow up together.
