3rd Birthday!

I know it's been a long time since Meredith's birthday - I know I've been slacking. But before it gets too late, I wanted to share some birthday pictures. Thanks to everyone who came to her birthday party. She had a wonderful time and it was so fun to see her that excited.

My favorite picture from the day - playing with Morneau. This picture just screams the idealistic childhood moment to me.

Dining on some Little Caesar's pizza and breadsticks. Yes, we're that classy!

This is what she does when I tell her I want to take a picture. She grits her teeth, forces a big smile and screams "CHEESE". I wanted a picture of her monkey birthday hat I made for her.

The monkey cake from Wuollet Bakery. I loved it!

Blowing out the candles.

On to presents...she loved that singing fish card.

Oh, and that monkey pillow pet too!

The rest are pictures of the party guests! Thanks again everyone!

September 2!

I just wanted to throw in a blog entry about her actual birthday. She brought Rice Krispy treats for all her friends at Preschool. She got to wear a special birthday crown too! We took her out for a special meal and let her choose where she wanted to go...she chose KFC. This is copy and pasted off her preschool log (it was so cute that I didn't want to forget about it):

2:01 P Nap Duration: Fell Asleep Notes: did end up falling asleep a little while ago. she was so excited it took her awhile. she was on her cot saying i wanna go to kfc over and over!

After KFC, we went home and Grandma and Grandpa Carlson brought her cupcakes and hair clips!

We opened a few gifts.

You can see her birthday crown here.
