Amy is Three!!!

We celebrated Amy's third birthday yesterday afternoon. The weather was so nice outside that we decided to have it at the Children's Park in Niceville. Coincidentally located about four minutes from our house and halfway between our house and Seth's parents' house. Perfect location! Amy absolutely loves going up and down slides and climbing on playground equipment. She was even big enough to rock on the purple dinosaur and only needed a little help getting back down. We managed to keep the party a complete surprise from Amy. On Saturday, Grandma K wrapped all of Amy's presents, which turned out to be quite a task since she got a dollhouse that comes with separate boxes of furniture for each room. We hid them in the front hall closet out of the way. Then, while Amy was napping on Sunday afternoon, I made a quick trip to WalMart to buy some fresh groceries for the week and also picked up some cupcake themed party supplies and found a cute blue cupcake cake that the baker personalized for Amy's party. I had just enough time to grab a few balloons before I headed home. While the family put the groceries away, I went upstairs to get Amy dressed and ready for her party. Then Seth stalled the kids a while so that my mom and I could make it to the park a few minutes early to set things up. About ten minutes was all that we needed, and we had just finished when Amy came running into the park and saw the birthday table. Seth's parents joined us shortly afterwards. We had just enough time to eat cupcakes and ice cream and open her presents as well as have about 40 minutes of playtime at the park (before and after the party). I would say that it was a success!

Here's the cute birthday cupcake/cake.

Almost there!
