Happy Birthday Sarah!

It's hard to believe, but our little girl turned 3 last weekend! I can still remember the day she was born and here we are celebrating her 3rd birthday. Where does the time go?

Sarah LOVES Dora the Explorer right now so of course this became the theme for everything. In an effort to keep things as calm as possible, we decided to split the weekend with a friends party on Saturday and a family get together on Sunday. I think everyone involved will agree this was definitely a good idea! :-)

Saturday's party was a lot of fun and included a homemade Dora cake by Mommy as well as an adventure for the kids that Dora herself would be proud of! A special thank you to Steve, or Daddy, for putting together such a wonderful adventure for the kids. Everyone got to make their own backpacks when they arrived which we then filled with all of the items they might need on their travels. They then went to the top of "Mystic Mountain," down into "Crawl Through Cave," and finally ended at "Birthday Beach" where they found the treasure box full of birthday treats. :-) The kids really seemed to have a good time and we were happy that everything went so smoothly.

On Sunday, we went to Grams & Grandpa's house for the festivities and it was like Christmas came a second time! :-) Sarah is certainly a lucky little girl! She had a wonderful time playing with her new dress-up dresses, her trampoline, and beating Grandpa at one of her new games.

Thank you to everyone involved in helping make this such a special weekend for Sarah and for us! Everything came together, but we certainly couldn't have done it without all of your help!
