Gigi's 3rd Birthday

While we were in Illinois Gigi turned 3 so I decided to have a little party for her. The Peterson's not only let me and my girls stay in their home, but they also hosted the party. They are pretty great I must say!
It was basically just family. Last year I went a little overboard on her party, so this year I didn't do much. I asked Gigi what kind of a party she wanted and she said "pink". It made it pretty easy. We had a pancake breakfast, complete with Pink syrup(thanks Amy, you are so creative!)and played a few games. It was all really fun.

opening presents. Thank you all for the fabulous presents!!

Gigi really wanted a bike for her birthday so we got her one, but she had to wait until she got home to get it. We arrived home at 1am and she was still awake (with no nap). She immediately wanted to go inside to see her bike :)

Gigi had so much fun that she is already planning her next birthday party.

Welcome Back! No wonder we haven't had a chance to talk! You've been busy having tons of fun!! The pictures are adorable, the party perfectly pink, and you look fabulous, Bethany! Glad you're back online And I did think the spit-up was funny. Nurse's humor? :)

I hope we get a chance to celebrate her next party with her! Aedan had a blast! You are so good at throwing parties Bethany! Even if it is in someone else's home, job well done!

Well Gigi made it easy by saying "pink" but I love that she chose pink because it's so girly :O) She looks so happy especially with her new bike! I bet she loves riding it. It is always exciting to get a bike. Glad she is doing well. Madeline looks so much bigger and beautiful. Thank you so much for the pictures!

Wow, Bethany, if this year's party you "didn't do much", I'd like to see how extravagant last year's party was! This looks like it was an amazing party! I hope that I'll be a creative and fun mom too someday.

Fun party! I was glad to make it to Gigi's 3rd, since I missed the first two! :) She is adorable.
