Today she is free, I mean three! Where did the time go?
In keeping with our new tradition she got to choose the pizza and movie the Friday before her birthday. She is our olive lover... and then we watched "Cars". (A first time for my princesses!)
We celebrated her birthday on Monday, since we'd be in UT for the real day.

Presents in the morning.
Caitlyn was been really excited to have a birthday party with her friends... just like Madisen. She wanted a Leap Frog Letter Factory party, perfect for a girl who loves green! Turns out that's a unique theme- as far as decor & favors go. Since the weather has been beautiful & parties with 2-4 year olds are entertaining, we decided to have the party at our neighborhood park. The plan was to play a few games, enjoy the play structure, have cake and call it good. I got this idea- almost exactly- from my amazing friend Laura. (She had a green ABC party for her son when he turned 3).
But the weather didn't cooperate so we moved the party to our house. It was a bit crowed & chaotic, but that's the way we like it!
The Balloon game was a hit, definitely the favorite.
The Course
She chose frog cupcakes. I forgot to get a picture the night before. This tray went for a ride to the park so some got smooshed.
Our 10 little guests.
The birthday girl!
Grandma & Grandpa showed up right as the party was ending. The girls were enamored with grandpa and each girl wanted to show them their party bag treasures.
And of course, Chick-Fil-A is the place to be for birthday lunches.
