The Never Ending Birthday.....

My family came into town this past week for Thanksgiving so we were able to once again celebrate Taylor's birthday. She opened her presents from my parents and we gave her the present we had been saving........her very first bike! We had a nice and yummy dinner that night at Texas Roadhouse. I think she had ANOTHER great day!

Opening MORE presents.

My amazing family! I was SO thankful to have them in town!

Of course Jordan has to do something fun with the girls like stick them in a tree or something like that. They loved it......after all they adore their daddy!

November Birthday's Dinner

We always celebrate the birthday's of that month at one big birthday dinner. This month it was FINALLY Taylor's turn! After seeing her baby sister have a birthday in October, I really never thought November 20th would get here. Every day she would ask, "Is it my birthday yet, Mom?" It was pretty cute to see her actually get it and be so excited! We drove out to Norm and Cara's in Chandler to celebrate all the November birthday's which were, Taylor, Cara, Grandpa Jim and Uncle Joe. Happy Birthday Everyone!

The Birthday Girl!

The baby sister!

Singing Happy Birthday - The candle was the coolest thing ever. It sang and spun around and even had sparklers! Taylor LOVED it!

As always, Bentley LOVED the cake and ice cream!

She even got $3 from Grandma Great!

We always get the girls in their pajamas before going back home to Goodyear because they fall asleep. I love seeing them in matching pj's!

Taylor's 3rd B-Day Party!

Taylor celebrated her 3rd Birthday with a little party with her friends at Build-A-Bear workshop. We absolutely LOVED being able to watch her and Bentley and all her friends have such a great time. It still amazes me how grown up Taylor is now. She really is a great three year old!

Doing a little dancing and hanging out before the kids got to build their bears.

Kenadee, Taylor, Avery and Talan ALL picked the koala bear! (The little sisters, Bentley and Kalli picked the dog - it was pretty cute!)

All the kids picked a heart from a basket and put it inside Taylor's bear to wish her lots of love on her birthday.

Even Bentley sat with the kids as they got ready to make their bears!

After they had selected their bears and put the hearts of love inside, it was time to put the stuffing in. Taylor wanted hers to be cuddly soft!

Then the kids took their bears over to the bath tub to be washed.

All the kids with their new friends! Talan, Avery, Kenadee, Kalli, Taylor and Bentley. They were able to dress their animal and give them a name. Bentley named her fairy princess dog, Floppy (with the help of her father) and Taylor named her princess koala bear, Cupcake. They had a lot of fun!

We opened presents and ate cupcakes just right outside the store in the mall.

The girls that night all ready for bed. Taylor also got a special yellow bear that all the kids (well the parents) were able to sign to tell her Happy Birthday!

Taylor also got a new Barbie guitar for her birthday and we had a little jam session right before bedtime! I think she had a great 3rd Birthday! She is SO spoiled - we just LOVE her!
