3 years old!

Here are a few of Alyssa's 3 year pictures we had taken. At her 3 year doctor appointment, she weighed 29 pounds and was 36 inches tall.





On Wednesday, we celebrated Alyssa's 3rd birthday! It is amazing how much she has grown up in the past 3 months and gained so much more independence. She keeps us busy but is truly a blessing to our family. We love you Alyssa Joy! Thank you to all our friends and families who helped make this a special birthday for her!
We started the morning off at 9:00am at Crazy Bounce for a couple hours. There was lots of dancing, sliding, and running around!
Of course we found time for a popcorn break


Aunt Kristin stopped over after work to surprise Alyssa with some balloons

Daddy came home early from work to assemble the girls birthday/Christmas gift! Nice to know our Christmas shopping is already done for our little ladies!
Alyssa was hesitant at first, but before we knew it, she was driving and saying, "look, no hands!" This girl will be big trouble if she ever gets a cell phone!

In the evening, both sets of grandparents came over for dinner, gifts, cake and ice cream. Here Alyssa is with her Barbie cake that Grandma made for her

Oops! Didn't know we had trick candles in the cake!

Here are the girls with all the men admiring her new E-reader.



Our neighbor came running outside when he saw the girls. Alyssa thought she'd take everyone for a spin on her new ride! (Just for the record, the warning stickers on the Gator that say not to let kids ride in the back...yeah, they knew what they were talking about...)

Happy B-day big girl! If your kids are like mine that gator is money well spent. Our jeep gets tons of use, you won't regret getting it for them.
