Happy Birthday, {Princess}

Photobucket

I cannot believe that our tiny miss Chloe is three!  She has been so excited for her birthday, and it certainly did not disappoint.  To celebrate her special day, we had a Disneyland Carnival with her little friends and our family.  We had a few carnival games - Arial's Undersea Adventure, Mad Hatter's Tea Party, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, Pirates of the Caribbean, Toy Story Mania, Pooh's Hunny Pot, Cinderella's Princess Chickens, and Rapunzel's Cottage.  The kids each received a little prize bag and gathered a reward at each carnival game.  It turned out super fun!  We enjoyed some carnival food - hot dogs, chips, Capri Suns, watermelon, cupcakes, rice crispy treats, and pasta salad.

The true highlight of the party was a visit from Rapunzel!  She traveled all the way from Disneyland to be at our house for Chloe's special party!  It was amazing!

The kids were so cute - they kept complementing Rapunzel on her dress, asking her how she got out of her tower, asking her where she left Flynn Rider, and asking if Flynn Rider was running through the woods from the bad guys.

Rapunzel brought a gift for each little guest, and everyone took their turn getting a picture with Rapunzel.  Chloe was thrilled when she opened a special gift from Rapunzel.

Chloe was so cute when she was opening her presents.  She opened a pair of earrings and said, "Oh, I love them!  They are perfect for when I get married!"

Chloe picked out a special Merida cake from her new favorite movie, Brave.  Chloe made sure that I called the bakery to order it several days before her party.  It was very cute!

Her party was really so fun!  Everything turned out perfect!  Chloe was one happy birthday girl!

On Chloe's actual birthday, she woke up super early (5:52 am to be exact)!  She was so excited to be three!

 She opened a few gifts from her Mom and Dad in the morning, and we took her to her favorite place - City Creek.

Chloe spent an hour or so in the Disneyland store where she picked out a Merida backpack, a Pascal (she has been looking for a stuffed Pascal forever!), and a little bear from Brave.

We let her pick her favorite restaurant for dinner - Chick-fil-a!  She loves that place; she asks us everyday if we can take her to Chick-fil-a for some hot soup!

We got her a special birthday ice cream cone and sang "Happy Birthday" to her.

It was a very special day for our special girl!

Chloe is such a wonderful little daughter!  She has a very tender heart, and she is a very sweet girl.  She will often say to us, "Do you know what?", we'll say, "what?" and she will reply, "I just love you!"  or she will say to me, "Mom, you are awesome!"  She is such a darling girl!  Chloe is a smart little cookie!  She has recognized that if we spell "d-r-i-n-k" we are referring to her favorite pink milk, and she will now ask for her "d-r-i-n-k."  She can count to 20, she sings lots of songs, and she remembers everything!  We were driving in the car in Brigham City, and she noticed the "B" on the mountain.  She said, "Look Dad, there is a B for Brandon!"  She never ceases to amaze me!

Chloe is our sunshine!  We are so, so lucky to be her parents.  I am grateful everyday to be her mom!  She is truly our little miracle!  We love you so very much, Chloe Bug!
