Pretty in Pink

We had a calm and relaxing week which made it easy to fit in a fun princess party for our wonderful 3 year old. April Fools!

Our fault, bad planning, but we were nuts that week. Chad's mom was flying out of SLC to go to Canada and we asked her to come down early to babysit for us so we could do our annual new temple trip. Since we picked Ogden as our new temple we decided to do her party up in Bountiful on March 29 so family wouldn't have to drive. We went to a playplace and decorated a table with a sick amount of pink. Only to have our sick girl sit there and be sad for the first 45 minutes and Chad totally embarrassed. I had a great picture of her looking pathetic, but Chad deleted it on accident. I'm still telling myself it isn't a big deal.

She finally decided that a pink princess party at a playplace was pretty fun. Tangled and a giant pink dog improved her spirits too.

On her real birthday, Chad was in Canada and I was tired. I ended up making funny face pancakes after a very long day. Hopefully next year she won't be sick and we will all be home.

She is growing up way too fast. Did she turn 3 or 13? I can't remember. She gets a satisfied cute face at the end of a good love story; I did NOT teach her that. She would love to wear  a dress 24/7, can wear 10 accessories at one time, run in high heels and tells us how to dress. Chad had a shirt that had a big graphic on the back and she kept insisting that is was on backwards. I wore a polka-dot dress for Easter and she was certain it wasn't pretty enough. And soon after her birthday and a lot of Tangled watching, I caught her kissing a little boy!!!  She lights up our lives in unexpected ways. We love her so much.

Such a cutie!

It's tough when they are sick on their birthdays. Sorry you lost the picture. There will be others. (Okay, I would have beaten my husband. But you are a better woman than I am so I'm sure you'll forgive him.)

Cari was just like that (girlie) when she was little. It's probably there to stay. Good luck with that.

This is sooo funny! You are going to have your hands full with that one. Especially if she ends up as boy crazy as you were! :) Of course, I'll be right there with you with my hands full, but still. We will endure together!
