How turning "3" should be

I thought I'd put up some pictures of Caroline's birthday. Dave requested that I not post about his birthday because the only pictures we took were first thing in the morning and we all look... like it was 6:30 in the morning!

Caroline had some friends over on her birthday to celebrate. Our ward is FULL of kids Caroline's age (they've had to split the nursery and there will be two Sunbeam classess next year!)

I wish we could have invited them all, but our house isn't that big! (and Mommy just isn't Superwoman)

I kept asking what kind of cake she wanted for her birthday. Her favorite book is "Pinkalicious" (if you have a preschool girly girl - this is a must have!) and so all she would say was that she wanted pink cupcakes "like Pinkerbelle!" I LOVE that she has simple tastes!

Dave and I got her a little dollhouse. We actually bought it a few months ago, because it was on a great sale and we've been saving it! She really likes it ... and I have stepped on countless pieces of plastic dollhouse furniture since then. *sigh*

I think the biggest hit of the day was her present from Uncle Ryan:

Caroline has slept in her tent every night and every nap since Saturday! She LOVES it! It came with a little sleeping bag, an eye mask, and a water bottle. The first night, she actually slept with the mask on and kept it on! It was so cute!

Thanks to everyone who came, who sent cards and gifts, emails and phone calls! Caroline really got excited to hear from everyone and Dave and I appreciate the support and love you have for our little girl.
