Callie’s 3rd Birthday- The Day!

I don’t know who was more excited about Callie’s birthday, me or her!  I was so excited to celebrate her big day especially since she is now old enough to realize that that day is all about her.  We started out the morning with her walking into the kitchen to see her birthday present- a basketball goal!

Callie is ALWAYS trying to play on daddy’s big goal and Mrs. Dawne has been saying how much she enjoys playing at school.  She was SO excited to see the basketball goal and immediately wanted to put it by “daddy’s goal.”

They went out to shoot some hoops, pj’s and all, and she loved it!

Sweet girl is so tall she can already dunk on her goal…  maybe Santa will bring the next stage up, ops!

Her birthday fell on a school day, so after a pancake breakfast we headed to school with cupcakes to celebrate with our friends!  After school, we had lunch with daddy, and then came home to rest.  She doesn’t nap much now, so she got to watch a movie, something she LOVES to do.

A tradition in our house/neighborhood is to put a sign on the road for your birthday!  Here’s Callie and her 3rd birthday sign :)

We then had the families over for a cookout to celebrate the big girl!  Uncle Alex read Mac some of her new books- this girl LOVES some books

Callie has been telling everyone that she want’s to be a peacock for Halloween.  I have been fretting about this because I wasn’t quit sure how I was going to make this!  Thankfully Callie opened up a really cute peacock costume for Halloween- yay!

We had such a fun day with our birthday girl and sad that it went so quickly.  We get to continue the celebration at Callie and Chloe’s joint birthday party coming soon- October is just one big Birthday celebration for our family and I love that!
