Sadie's 3rd Birthday Party

For Sadie's third birthday, we had a party at a mini golf place.  She has loved playing there over the last year and we thought it would be great for her party.  The kids were able to build a bear and got tokens to play the games inside where they won tickets.  We then had cake and pizza and then everyone was off to play golf, ride go-karts or try the batting cages. I managed to get a little crafty with her favor bags and banners while eve slept. 



Golf Balls made from paper lanterns






Favor bags that said "thanks for playing a round with me at my Par-tee" I made these tags on PowerPoint


made this banner with my computer and card stock


Amy made the girls outfits!  So cute








She really got into her birthday this year, talking about singing happy birthday and blowing out candles.  She has been talking about it for a month.  She is so much fun now!

We also had GG and Grandma June in town for the weekend from Las Vegas.  Sadie had so much fun playing and playing with them.  She is very into giving everyone 'check-ups' with her doctor kit.  She loves the show Doc McStuffins and can give you a thorough work up.

At 3 years old, she is growing like a weed and looks so more mature.  She weighs around 35 pounds.  She still wakes up early (6-7) and will take an afternoon nap most days.  She has quite an imagination and plays with objects and makes up stories.  She is very loving, hugging and kissing us and her sister.  She loves to take care of her babies and mimics everything we do with her sister.  She can put together 24 piece puzzles easily and can count to 30.  She has starting understanding adding and can do simple 1+.  She remembers everything, if you try to skip a word in a familiar book she will call you on it.  She is a negotiator, she will wear you down asking and asking.  She is curious and asks why about everything.  She is a joy and brings so much happiness to us everyday.  Every stage with her seems to be my favorite and she cracks me up daily.  She is dramatic and doesn't handle pain (scratches) well.  She is cautious, she doesn't just jump head first into a new situation.  She needs to feel it out first.  Sadie is a Daddy's girl, she lights up when he walks in the room.  She wants me most when she is acting up, tired or in pain.  She already tries to play one of us against the other :)  I never thought I would be more of the push over! I love cuddling with her and playing with her.  So thankful for the last three years with this little girl!
