Alex and Brooklyn have been talking about it for at least 6 months...but, it has finally happened. Alex turned 3 years old. She has been so excited for her birthday. The morning of her birthday she woke up at 6am calling for "Mommy" so I ran up to her room. She asked, "Mommy, what are you doing"? Well, it's 6am and for those that know me well...know that I have been up for at least an hour cleaning bathrooms and scrubbing floors! :)
But then she asks, "Are you making my cake"? I had to chuckle...when she went to bed I had just pulled the last cake out of the oven to cool. So there were 4 cakes out on the counters at bed time. Poor baby....guess we are lucky she slept at all. After I told her that the cake was made the night before her poor little eyes about popped out of their sockets. She jumped out of bed and headed downstairs as fast as her little legs could carry her. I hope the girls are always so excited for their birthday parties because it makes my heart happy to witness their joy!
That morning the phone calls from Pop and Grandma Abblitt and Grandma and Grandpa Yoder were very exciting for Alex... Now that I'm 3, I get my own phone calls! "Today is my Dora Party"!
At 3pm the party started. Grandma and Grandpa Yoder and our good (ok, Grace...great) friends, The Currens, made the 4 hour trip from Sheldon to help celebrate Alex's birthday party.
