Paisley Is THREE

Did my little baby girl just turn 3? 
Whenever I would say it, it just sounded so old. 
But yes, Paisley is 3 and she was so excited for her Birthday (week of celebrations). 

It all started with her Bus Birthday Party. The "Bus" theme came a few months ago when we asked her what kind of cake she wanted Pop to make for her party. She said, "A Wheels on the Bus cake" (that is her favorite song). Every few weeks we would ask her what she wanted for her cake and she said remained set on a bus, so we were all set.

I found an awesome company called "The Tumble Bus" that is an actual school bus that drives to your house to do gymnastics inside the bus. I showed Paisley the bus and she was so excited. I loved that she wanted to be involved in all the choices and decorations (such a girl). 

Paisley was ready to go

The Little Ones (3 and under) started out on the bus first. I loved seeing all their smiles. Paisley loved it all, which made me so happy. 

Elliptical and exercise bike. These kids got a good workout

Paisley's special friend from school and church, Harper

Rock climbing

The Zipline was everyone's favorite

The older kids were excited to get on

Picking out their glitter tattoos

Everyone headed out back for a little parachute time

The girls loved their craft time (boys were nowhere to be found near the crafts)

She had this smile all day long. Such joy! 

Make a wish! 

Cousin Love! 

I was so happy that my Mom made it to the party. Made it the perfect day. 

The next morning opening presents. 

Making chocolate chip oatmeal cooking for school

Her special school star for her Birthday. She was so proud she wore it all day. 

The morning of October 5th (her actual birthday)

Opening some presents before breakfast. 
Every girl needs a new cellphone and some lip gloss. 

Paisley's Big Present this year was her dollhouse.

We gave Paisley a choice for her special day and she chose San Francisco, so we headed to Pier 39. The weather was amazing and it was the perfect day. 

We love the Aquarium. Only takes about an hour to go thru and it is perfect for little ones. Cool shark tank, jelly fish and petting area. 

Paisley's Favorite ride is always the Merry Go Round. We got to ride it twice. 

Roman opted for the trampoline with his Daddy. So proud of this boy. He loved it. 

Lunch and then cotton candy! 

One of my favorite memories of this day is her excitement over her first set of lipgloss. All day long she carried a purse and would stop (about 30 times) and apply her glittery lipgloss. Sometimes it got on her lips and other times on her chin or nose. People would stop and smile since she was taking it so seriously. I loved it! 

We ended the day with dinner (and another bus cake) at my parents house with all the cousins. What a week of Birthday Celebrations. We are so blessed. Happy Birthday Paisley. We love you so much! You bring us joy, happiness, laughter and sass. We feel so very blessed. You are Loved.

Her smile is contagious! I want to hug and kiss her. Your birthday parties are so cool.... I want to come. (and so glad my kids won't ever realize their bday parties are lame in comparison)
