Anna turns 3! (Part 2)

 And yes...the celebration continued!  This weekend, we had the official "party..." a fun candy themed bash held at our home, complete with Doodle the Clown!  This was the largest party to date in our new house and it could not have gone any better.  Most importantly, Anna had the best time and is still talking about it!  That made all the preparations worth every minute.

Our candy themed cake from Creations Bakery.  YUM.  The top layer was strawberry and bottom was vanilla....SO delicious.  I will definitely use them again!

 So for our entertainment, we hired Doodle the Clown, a clown that had come and done a magic show at their school.  OMG-best money I have ever spent...like probably on anything.  She was amazing.  SO funny and had the kids and parents entertained the entire time.

Anna, although scared at first, loved Doodle.  She continues to ask where she is every single day!  Ha!

Cheese!

Blowing out her candles....she loved having happy birthday sung to her...again!  :)

I am so thankful to have such great families (mine and Zack's!) and friends who came and celebrated this special occasion.  We are so blessed to have you all and so blessed to have this sweet girl! 

I will be back soon for an "Anna at 3" post to document this age, because I know that each moment is fleeting and the next  month will be different from the last.  But I want to end this post with one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite books that I still love to read to both of them...

"I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living, my baby you'll be."
-Robert Munsch from "Love you Forever"
