Our little Princess is 3!

actually...she technically isn't 3 until Sunday but we decided to celebrate today. It was such a fun day! I think that I had just as much fun as she did :) The festivities started last night when Kevin and I decided to make her this...

That's right...we made her a castle cake. It wasn't too hard to do and I must say it turned out pretty darn cute! It was totally worth all the time it took to make it. Janey has been asking for a castle cake for at least 6 months. She talks about her birthday and castle cake multiple times throughout the day. I wonder what will be the topic of conversation now...Christmas here we come!

Making a funny face in the morning. She was super excited when she saw her cake! It was just as good as Christmas for me:) She was just too cute all day long!

Decorating crowns with her princess friends

All her cute little friends...thanks to all the little princesses for helping us celebrate!

Getting ready to blow out her candles. Happy Birthday Janey...we love you!

Wicked

Kevin decided to be romantic and bought tickets to go see wicked (but only after I told him to :) It was so incredible! For those of you who haven't seen this musical I highly recommend saving up and going to it. We went knowing basically nothing about the plot and I loved it that way. I will never watch the Wizard of Oz the same again! Thanks Kevin for an amazing evening!

Goodbye Goldilocks!

For awhile Kevin and I contemplated whether or not we should give our little Russell a haircut. I was reluctant because he had the cutest curls and I knew that once I cut his hair he would go from looking like my baby boy to looking like a big boy. Kevin wanted to cut it because he thought that it was started to look like girls hair. I finally gave in and we started to cut his hair. At first I was mad at Kevin for making me cut off those adorable curls...but when I saw the end result he was so dang cute that I coldn't believe we didn't do it sooner. I kept staring at him for days because he didn't look like my child...he looked so old. We cut his hair about two weeks ago and I think it's almost time to trim it again. I see what my life will be like for the next several years :) I forgot to mention that when we cut his hair we gave him a succor for the first time to keep him entertained. It sure did entertain him but by the end he was a sticky, hairy mess. It was really gross but totally worth it to have him sit still and cooperate :)

This is a picture of his hair right before we cut it.

And here he is right after his first haircut. He sure looks handsome!
