Our sweet little girl turned 3 this past week! & we made the big announcement that she would also be a big sister to baby sparks #3. Her birthday theme was a cow/farm thing. We had a cow train, picture area with hay & fake barn doors, a red wagon w/ hay & a bounce house to keep the kids entertained. Of course we served burgers (& hot dogs) for lunch. Then we had everyone come inside for a video before cupcake time. We showed Ava over the past 3 years of various vacations, playdates, etc. Then the end we said something like "& speaking of 3", where we showed a video clip of me explaining to Ava that she is going to be a big sister (& that's what her shirt said). & that when her dad got home, she would tell him she would be a big sister. It took a couple of people a little longer to "get it" then I thought (my mom), but in the end everyone's excitement is what I really wanted to see. It's wonderful to share such special news with people that have been on our "journey" with us.
So, here's to threes!
