June 7, 2016 (Third Birthday)

My girls are 3!  T H R E E !  I can't believe how fast time goes.  Their birthday was actually 2 weeks ago but here is a recap of their special day.

Brian and I woke them up.  We sang them Happy Birthday first thing.  Then we took them downstairs so they could open their gifts from us.

I made them each their own book from our Disney vacation.  Here is Taylor "Kissing" hers.

Then, each of the girls had an opportunity in the prior week to get each other birthday presents.  It was so sweet watching them get excited about giving to their sisters.

Then it was breakfast time.  After pancakes, we let them eat a piece of their tie-dyed cake Dad made them the night before.

After breakfast, we got everyone ready and headed to Wet n Wild Splashtown in North Houston.  The girls had so much fun and I think it was the first time that Brian and I weren't stressed the whole time during a family outing.  The girls behaved and we all had so much fun.  They loved doing the water slides in the smaller kids zone... over and over and over again.

Back at home the girls got in a nap while MeMe and Grandpops arrived and set up this...

They spent hours refurbishing my old Barbie doll house.  It turned out so adorable and it made me want to play before the girls woke up.  I did snap a few photos of everything set up all cute before 6 little hands got to it and destroyed it in 4 seconds flat.

They had to pull everything out.  They loved it so much and I can't wait to watch them grow up playing with my childhood doll house.  Its pretty special.

After they got to play with the barbie house, there were more presents to open from Nana and then we headed to dinner at their favorite restaurant.  What is a 3 year old's favorite restaurant you might ask?  Well, its Freys, a restaurant with a huge backyard and lots of balls to play with. They technically won't eat any of the food, but they sure love to play.  

The girls birthday was so much fun and I think everyone enjoyed themselves.  They had their birthday party on June 11 and I'll share photos from that in my next post.
