Ahhh and pretty soon I get to add 3rd birthday and a brand-new BIG SISTER to the list. I cannot believe how big she is getting. And how amazing she is. This year, we're having her party about 20 days before her actual birthday, which is probably going to be confusing to her and she'll probably think she's 3 from her party on, but I just couldn't risk having Hadley early or being so tired I can't do anything the day of her party. We're having a Yo Gabba Gabba birthday bash, along with games, face painting and a guy to make balloon characters (thanks mom and dad!). Her party is in 2 short weeks and I still have tons to do, but everything always seems to come together and I'm trying not to stress out about it because we have such great family members that always help out so much! Can't wait for my baby to turn 3 and become a big sister! (Though I'm getting quite emotional thinking about how she won't be the only little princess around... but I'm so excited for our family!)
