Maggie's 3rd Birthday

We all had such a fun time celebrating Maggie's birthday.

She woke up bright and early and was really happy to know that her birthday was FINALLY here.

 Here she is (bed head and all) telling us that she's 3 years old - I love how she does the number 3 on her fingers

 Wait, how old are you again?!

 Daddy and I got up super early to decorate the kitchen some and Brian made some "mickey" pancakes for breakfast (along with the usual tradition of some mini donuts)

 I love how she looks when we sing her Happy Birthday

 What a cutie pie

 Colin picked out some Frozen puzzles for her - She LOVES puzzles!

It was a big hit and Colin was so excited to have her open them up.  He did a great job of keeping his gift a secret from her, but it was tough!

 Thank you hugs!

We also got her Zingo (a fun Bingo type game).  

She really doesn't ask for much, so we didn't go overboard with gifts.  She got these 2 presents and was just completely content with it.

We are so blessed to have kids that don't beg and expect elaborate birthdays and tons of presents.

She kept on saying "thank you, guys!" all morning long.

After school, we headed to Chuck E Cheese for some birthday celebrating.

 Once again, Maggie loved the carousel.  She seriously could ride that thing all day

 Grammie and Olivia stopped by for a bit and we were so happy to see them!

 Crazy kids - they loved climbing all over the place

 Uncle Davie Dave Dave came by for a bit, too!

 Chuck E Cheese came out to do a dance with them - 

Notice how there is one other kid there - yep, we had the place to ourselves for quite some time.

It was awesome!!!

 Head, shoulders, knees and toes!

 They loved Chuck E Cheese!

 If Maggie wasn't on the carousel, she was on this horse.

She loved this thing, but hardly weighed enough to make it run, so she needed someone's hand to help push the horse along.  No matter to her, she loved it!

 We had a small cookie cake to celebrate

 Big kids!

After we got home, we bribed our neighbor with some cookie cake to take a family picture.

It turned out great!

 Our happy little family

Oh, and one more picture.

I got this emailed to me from one of Maggie's teacher aides.

Maggie, you have such a caring and gentle heart, and are always the first one to say 'sorry' and make sure everyone is okay.  You're my little mother hen and have quite the personality.

Brian and I are certain you are going to be class president one day, everyone just loves you at school and you have lots of close friends.

You have brightened our lives from the moment you were born - We love you and your beautiful self!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Maggie Mae!
