I’m slowly catching up… :)
We had a fun time celebrating Audrey turning three! Here’s a glimpse of our time celebrating with her. It was simple, but she loved it!
The week before her birthday, we brought her to a store she’s been eyeing every day on our way to Logan’s school. It’s called “Tiny Toes Ribbons and Bows” and has pretty toddler dresses, skirts, and headbands in the window displays. She was excited to try a few things on.
On her actual birthday, Audrey got to use the “birthday plate” all day, and that made her feel special already at breakfast (waffles and bananas). Then I put her hair in a ponytail at her request, painted her fingernails pink, and we called a neighbor girl to come over and play for a few hours.
At lunch time, I let her open one present, a sing-a-long DVD with Disney princess songs. It’s the first time she’s seen these princesses on the screen.
Watching Disney with her siblings and sucking her thumb in the living room for the last time (we restricted Lambie and her thumb to the bedroom starting the day after her birthday).
We had a special birthday dinner with her favorite meal: pizza casserole, corn, applesauce, and pink lemonade to drink. Papa and Nanny came over too.
Gifts… she couldn’t wait to open them!
A personalized beach towel, sunglasses, and flip-flops from Papa and Nanny.
Logan picked out a gift at Dollar Tree for Audrey and wanted to write the gift tag by himself. This warms my heart on so many levels!
Her new outfit from mom and dad (the one she picked from Tiny Toes Ribbons and Bows).
New rain boots and a new silver backpack!
Audrey didn’t want to wear her new outfit at first, so Emily put it on instead. ;)
Then Audrey decided she wanted it back. :)
The cake. Audrey LOVES cake. She requested one with Ariel, flowers, and pink sprinkles. I think the local bakery did a great job!
Audrey approved.
We sang the birthday song to her twice, because once just isn’t enough. :)
The second time through, Logan tried to beat her to blowing out the candles, but she was quick to blow as well!
After the party, Audrey gave complimentary “hair cuts” to anyone who would sit on the steps for her.
We love you so much, Audrey Pearl! You add so much energy, hugs, laughter, drama, and sheer volume to our family. xoxo

Cute girl is like a dream come true for parents. Best party planning was done by my friend for her mother's birthday. Booked one of the fabulous NYC venues online and cake was ordered from reputed bakers. Liked the Italian cheesy dishes and starters very much. Main course was also equally delicious.
