Our baby girl turned 3!! Happy Birthday Andalyn!!

Dear Andalyn,

You are our sweet baby girl....and always will be. We can't believe you are three! You are getting to be such a big girl. You can do so many things all by yourself and continue to try new things everyday. We can't help to think, when we look at your sweet face, of the day 3 years ago when you came into our little family. It was November 27, 2005, mommy had been very sick during the last 6 weeks of her pregnancy and was induced to make sure you and mommy stayed healthy. You came to us on Monday night November 28th at 9pm. You were a month early and weighed 6 pounds 1 ounce. From the instant that we saw you we fell in love with you. Although you had some problems the first couple hours after you were born, you came to be by mommies side at 11:30 that night never to leave again. You were so beautiful...mommy made sure you had all of your fingers and toes. Made sure you had your cute little ears and then spend most of that night just staring at you. Daddy and Mommy haven't stopped since. You are such a good little girl and you have surprised us everyday the last 3 years with how fast you can learn and grow. Your little eyes shine with the light of Christ and daddy and mommy count you and your brother our most treasured gifts from our Heavenly Father!! We love you sweetheart and will always be here for you whether you are 3 or 33....Age will never change the fact that you are our baby girl!!

Love always,

Mommy and Daddy!!

ANDALYN'S 3RD BIRTHDAY PARTY WUBBZY STYLE

A week before Andalyn's birthday we threw here a Wow Wow Wubbzy Birthday party. It is one of her favorite shows on Nick Jr. There isn't too many Wubbzy party supplies out there so we had to get creative. My mother in law got a plain white cake from Sam's Club and I decorated it. I was really nervous at first but I think it turned out pretty good. :)

One of Wubbzy's favorite things are "doodleberries" so we had the kids pick "doodleberries" off the wall for their first wubbtastic game. So with their baskets in hand...the kids raced to see who could get the most berries.

For their next game they played pin the tail on Wubbzy....this is what Wubbzy looked like once the kids were done. :)

Andalyn is so lucky to have so many people that love her. Our friends and family brought so many sweet gifts! Here Andalyn is opening a Disney Princess bedding set that her Grandma and Grandpa Cashdollar got her. I don't think it's a coincidence that she is sleeping through the night now without a peep! She loves her princesses!!

I saw this hat on a Wubbzy blog site that took me to a women's blog that hand makes these hats! Isn't it adorable!? It was only $18. If you are interested you can go to her blog http://hottophats.blogspot.com/ she has a variety of hats that she does.

Then it was time to sing to Andalyn, it was so cute she got so shy and embarrassed when everyone started singing. I guess to a 3 year old 35 people in one room singing to you is a bit overwhelming. :) Thanks Uncle Logan for holding the cake. :)

Once all of the planned activities were done...kids being kids...made up their own game. Throw rocks in the pond. As Andalyn would call it nutty nut toss. (From the Wubbzy show)

It was such a fun day...thank you to all of you that came to Andalyn's party. She loved having everyone there! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDALYN!!
