Such a pretty 3!

I can't believe that my little princess is turning 3 years old already. It truly feels like just yesterday that we brought home this tiny, beautiful little angel. It has been the funnest, most rewarding experience to be McKenna's mom. I have absolutely loved having a little girl after all these boys. Pink, lace, baby dolls, princess things, bows, ribbons ... the list goes on and on and I love it!

My little princess loves to get all dolled up when we go out. She loves to look pretty just like a princess.
I love that I finally got a girl and that her hair is finally long enough to really start playing with. We had so many people stop us and comment on how cute she was, especially her hair!


Our first stop was McKenna's first trip to the nail salon. She LOVED it, and they all loved her. They couldn't believe how well behaved she was and for so young. She got to pick one of her favorite colors to paint her nails. I think that I have found a salon buddy for sure! :)


After a long, hot day of shopping for new shoes and clothes for the little miss, we decided to cool off with some ice cream. Always a favorite activity for all of us! McKenna picked the birthday cake flavored ice cream which I thought was very appropriate!



Then, McKenna got to go out to dinner with just Mommy and Daddy. We went to Bajio Mexican Grill, and she ate more of the Pork salad than I did. We had to talk her out of going to McDonalds. We've been letting the kids pick which restaurant they want to go to, but Issac and I just weren't feeling McD's.
After dinner, we let McKenna loose in Toys R Us and she ended up picking out her very first bike. She was so thrilled and took to it right away. At first she kept pushing backwards which would cause her to brake, but then after about 10 minutes of Issac working with her, she was off and, "going reaby fast mom!"



So, to top it all off and in true princess fashion, we had to have a princess castle cake. I was a little unsure if I wanted to attempt this, especially so soon after making the wedding cake, but how could I let my little princess down. I am not thrilled with how it turned out, but it was my first try. I'm sure I will have plenty more opportunities to practice as she grows.


Pink and Purple Princess Castle of course!

When it was all said and done, my little princess was a very, VERY happy 3 year old princess! I can't believe that she is so big, but I am so proud to be her mom and to have been there for all of her 3 years, with many, many more to go. Happy Birthday Kenna Bear! I love you!! XOXO!!

What a cutie! I'm lucky to get a barette in Clara's hair without a tantrum. p.s. your latest cake endeavor is only confirming my last comment:).

3 already?! She is a princess, beautiful and a perfect mix of her mamma and pappa!

You have such a talent with cakes! I can't believe that castle, you go girl! I'd love to know how you did that?
