Kaylee's Third Birthday

Before we get to the birthday stuff Kaylee had her first observation lesson this week at dance class. This meant that mom got to go sit, watch, and video tape her class. She was so adorable and was such a good little dancer! If we can figure out how we will have to see if we can put a small piece of the video on here because it is hilarious!

For Kaylee's birthday she wanted a princess party! She is very into the disney princesses right now and loves to watch their movies and dress up and play like them! For the last two months at least all we have heard 20 times a day is "Kaylee's birthday coming up!" She has been so excited and we have been counting down the days! She also has been letting us know over the past while that she had some very specific requirements for her birthday. She said that she needed balloons, a cake, 3 candles to blow out, and presents. She obviously had the picture of what a birthday is all about!



Last night after Kaylee went to bed we set up the table and all of her presents on the couch. When she woke up this morning we made her close her eyes and we video taped her as she got her first look at her birthday presents. She was so excited!! We let her open a couple presents this morning that included her new Belle dress, gloves, and "Dorthy" shoes!



For Kaylee's birthday, her Nanna McMilland bought tickets for her to go see the musical "Beauty and the Beast"! We have been gearing up for this all week and Kaylee was so excited to go see the Beast even though she said it would be "very scary"! Kaylee and her aunt Janessa dressed up like little Belles for the show. Everyone thought they were so adorable and they had a blast at the show!



Later that night Kaylee was lucky enough to have her Nanna and Pappa McMillan, aunts Nicole and Janessa, uncle Andy and his friend Angie, and aunt Kaitlyn, uncle Taylor, and future cousin Alyssa at her birthday party!


As we said, two of Kaylee's birthday requirements were a cake and 3 candles. She had a very cute cupcake princess cake! We all sang "Happy Birthday" to her and then she got to blow out the candles (it only took her 3 tries :-) )




Kaylee had been waiting all day to open her presents that had been sitting on the couch since this morning. Finally the time arrived and she dove in with an occasional "Kaylee is so excited!" and "Let's open another one!"


When all was said and done Kaylee had a very very happy birthday! She was so excited with all her princess presents. She has more dress up clothes than she knows what to do with (we are sure she will be changing her clothes about 20 times a day now), some of her favorite disney movies, some princess puzzles and books (which she loves!), some adorable puzzles from aunt Kaitlyn and uncle Taylor, some every day cute stylish clothes from Nanna and Pappa McMillan, and a Belle tea party set that she will love playing with. The Princes Party was a hit!




Kaylee was very excited to get her present from Nanna K and Pappa Greg. Her cute purple dress, shell necklace and bracelet, and very cool pink sparkle cell phone holder (just the right size for her little pink cell phone) were all from Hawaii!
