Lucy's 3rd Birthday Costume Party

L went as a princess fairy. This was a special gift from Neen

Lucy had her 3rd birthday party celebration on Sunday. It was bitter sweet as the Clark's move this week to Seattle. We will miss them tons and are sad to see them go. 

the birthday girl- Lucy as a Tiger. They had a face painter at the party. Such a great idea!

Joyful Jumps

Yesterday we took L to Joyful Jumps. It's this facility that has 10 bounce houses inside. We really didn't know how she would do and thought she would stick to the younger options. L was a little trooper and really had no fear. She climbed up this really steep bounce house and went down the slide all by herself. I think we might have a Joyful Jump addict on our hands. It was a fun day with Nana and Papa!

I know it's blurry, but this is her going down the big slide by herself. It was super steep.

Museum of American History

checking out the trains

On Sunday we all headed down to the museum of American History. We thought L would like the cars and trains exhibit. She did lots better once she was up on Daddy's shoulders. It was a busy day down at the mall and we forgot how crowded the museums can be on the weekend.

Welcome to 123 Laurelea Street

We had an Elmo themed 2nd birthday party for Laurelea. She loved the theme and I so appreciate all the help from family to pull it all together.

 As we were expecting lots of friends we decided to get the Tumble Bus for the party. It's a bus that you rent that comes to your door and has a mini gym inside. It was a huge hit with the birthday girl and we are so glad that we found a fun winter activity.
