Big 3 for Annabelle!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS ANNAB!!!!! How is it possible that our first little girl is already 3?!?! It's been 3 joyful and fulfilling years with you our little Annabelle.  You made me and Daddy parents and for that we will always be grateful.  You have brought such a happy light into our lives that we didn't have before and we are thankful that you are such a good girl with a big heart.

We decided that Dad would just take the day off for your birthday and instead of having a friends party we would celebrate as a family.  You asked specifically to have a chocolate donut for your birthday so that was an easy wish to grant.  Our favorite place to get donuts here in Kingman is Donut Deli, they are delish and made fresh every morning. We thought we would save money by celebrating with just us, but of course Dad and I wanted to spoil you and went overboard on your presents, you're worth it though! :)

This is you when you first woke up and walked out of your room, we wanted to surprise you...

Your breakfast consisted of your chocolate donut with candles and a strawberry milk with a straw!  I was surprised because you didn't finish your donut, I think you were just too excited for your toys.  One of your presents was this little picnic table which also had an umbrella that we could put up for shade when you are outside. We had your presents all wrapped and ready for you to open, there were balloons all over the floor too.  You were so happy, we just wanted you to feel loved on your special day.

You asked Grammy Schaub for a Frozen dress and ran around the house singing Frozen songs, it was so cute!  You acted like you had magical powers like Elsa. We also got you a magnetic doodle board because lately you have been loving to draw.

We asked you what else you wanted to do and of course you said go to the splash pad, wish granted!  Kingman doesn't have one so we took a little road trip to Vegas, Rachel Adams referred us to one and it turned out being a really nice with lots of water fountains for you to splash in.  I think you could run around the splash pad all day long, I'm hoping one day when we own our own place Daddy will build you guys your own personal splash pad in the backyard, wouldn't that be nice? You are so cute in your little swimmie.

Pax was such a grump that day, I thought he would have been more excited to be out in the water when it was so hot but nope he wasn't!  It was pretty hot that day so he was a bit flushed, I ran around with you in the splash pad and Daddy took care of him most of the time.

You were all SMILES at the splash pad, cute girl! You are so easy to love and please.

Then your last wish for your birthday was to eat your favorite food...hamburgers and fries dipped in ranch.  Wish granted, we took you to Red Robin and you got a hamburger and all the french fries your heart desired and loads of ranch.  We also told them it was your birthday, so the staff came out and sang to you and gave you a special dessert.  I would call the day a success, it was so fun being able to have some treasured family time.  You are our everything bear and we love you so very much, I hope you will always be able to feel of our love for you.  Thanks for being such a great addition to our fam!
