Look who's 3!

Monday Nov. 17 is Alexa's 3rd birthday! It's amazing to me that she is growing like she is. She is getting smarter every day, and I have to give kudos to her preschool for that! She has picked up on so many things and has a great memory, I am really enjoying her personality right now!

We celebrated on Saturday with a Mickey Mouse pool party out at the AmericInn in Grimes. She had a ton of fun! I let the kids swim for a while, we then had pizza, opened presents, had cake and ice cream, and then finished off the night with a little more swimming. It was great to not have everyone stuffed in my little townhome!!

Her cake was made by Steph from Ankeny, she did the cake last year at the last minute and it was awesome, so this year I contacted her almost 2 months ahead of time! This year with more planning, we were able to be more creative. Alexa is all about Mickey right now, so we did Toodles from the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse show. Toodles brings Mickey and friends the Mouseketools when they need them to solve a problem. She thought it was pretty cool.

My sweet baby girl is definitely a "big" girl now! Happy Birthday!
