I really can't believe you turned 3 this past weekend! I don't know where the years have gone but it has been an awesome 3 years with the two of you. Definitely never a dull moment! No day is ever the same and I laugh everyday. Of course there are days we all cry also...but those are few and far between :) We planned a dinosaur party for you two, and I know it seems weird for a girl, but you both agreed that is what you wanted. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is still one of your favorite movies and that's what you both wanted. We borrowed two bounce houses from the neighbors, decorated with dinosaurs, had dinosaur cookies and dinosaur egg cupcakes. It was a great party and the weather was sunny and hot despite having so much rain lately. Most of our friends came and you guys have gifts coming out of your ears! Puzzles, luggage, clothes, pajamas, games, swimsuits, jewelry...you name it, you guys got it! Brody said his most favorite gift was a Thomas the Train floor puzzle from Jenny...how did we know it would be something Thomas??? Finley wore white capris as you can see above, a poor choice by her mother b/c they were no longer even remotely white when the party was over. After Doritos, cupcakes with green icing, lemonade, sand, bounce house dirt, grass stains and fruit, they just didn't look like the same white skinny capri's mommy had bought you to wear for the party. Lucky for you, Mawmaw Vicki and mommy are really good at stain treating and managed to get them white again after only two days! Brody wore a dino tshirt and couldn't have been more thrilled. You finally fell fast asleep after a no nap celebration and slept well that night after your big party. We got up on your actual birthday, yesterday, and as requested, got donuts for your birthday breakfast! Actually Brody wanted cinnamon rolls but after Finley dramatically cried that she never gets to pick anything, he gave in and they settled on chocolate long johns. Then we went outside and played with your new water table and then came inside for a much needed naptime...we had a very fun night planned. We had already requested a babysitter for Quinn so we could go to Red Robin for dinner and take you guys to see Shrek at the movie theater. But shortly after you went down for a nap and mommy left to go to a baby shower, I got a call from Daddy requesting that I come home "sooner rather than later" b/c you guys were both throwing up in your new beds! I came home to find you guys both pathetic, pale, feverish and throwing up in tupperware bowls! Daddy was just trying to manage with Quinn running around. So your birthday ended with your mattresses pulled into our bedroom on the floor puking all night. Daddy and Quinney also got the flu, Quinn may have been the one who started it all! Grandpa and Grandma Phillips got it the next day also as well as several party guests! So it was a great birthday celebration followed by a not so great actual birthday....we need a birthday redo! They want a raincheck on their birthday dinner and a movie!
