Snow White Birthday Party

Reese Ann's birthday celebration continued when we had a Snow White party with some of her friends!  The party was lots of fun to plan for me, and she loved it all- Snow White has been her favorite princess from the very beginning!

Reese Ann is 3- First Celebration!

Our precious, spunky, girlie little princess turned three on Tuesday, September the 4th.  We celebrated all day long!  We started with balloons when she came downstairs and then onto a party bright and early at 8 am at school!  We brought donut holes to share with all of Reese Ann's friends, and her class and sweet teachers did a great job celebrating her!


This is Reese Ann's table at school (plus big brother) eating donut holes for her birthday!


After she ditched the birthday crown, she sat on her spot on the carpet in "criss-cross applesauce" style and showed off her magic wand from Miss Karen
I brought the birthday girl and Cooper lunch from Sonic and got to eat with them at school.  After school our friends Emily, Tucker, and Eady (along with their sweet mom) came over to play.  They brought balloons and princess fruit snacks for Reese Ann!  Our birthday dinner at home was with Nan, Edie, and G-Chip.  All Reese Ann wanted was a pink cupcake (Pinkalicious is one of our favorite books these days), so she was very happy when she had a pink cupcake with candles just for her!

Reese Ann loved opening presents including this Cinderalla dress from Nan!  The cute smocked cupcake dress did not stay on much longer :)

All four of us!  We missed a picture with the dollhouse that was our present to the birthday girl- guess we were videoing! 
Reese Ann, you are such a special little girl!  We are so thankful for the life and excitement you add to our lives every day!  

Your favorite food at three- hands down- is chocolate soy nut butter.  You only eat it by the spoonful!  You still like junk food but are a decent fruit eater and will eat yogurt and hummus and carrots every once in a while.  You weigh in at 31 pounds and are 37 inches tall- just about the 50th percentile for both.  

You love it when there are people around to entertain you, but also like to have the run of the house every once in a while!  Your favorite thing to play right now is dress-up.  You usually shed your uniform as soon as soon as we walk in the door for a costume (or if not you want "real clothes")!  You have spent the last six months or so clomping around the house in one of your 6+ pairs of princess slippers.  Your favorites- the Snow White ones of course- broke because you wore them so much!  Baby dolls and stuffed animals are some of your favorite things to play with, too.  While you are so girlie, you still love to go run around outside and get dirty- such a fun mix of personality!

You have been fairly rambunctious and destructive through the last year, but I definitely see signs of growing out of this (Praise the Lord)!  You have become concerned when you make messes and are a little more careful with your toys and books.  You are a sweet friend at school- always taking care of the kids who are upset.  We are thankful for your kind spirit!  

You still worship your older brother, and the majority of the time, y'all are very sweet to each other and enjoy playing together.

We have loved watching you grow and change since your 2nd birthday and look forward to what this year holds for you!  We love you so much!

Stay tuned for pictures from the Snow White birthday party...
