Hello Kitty Party!

We celebrated Molly's birthday today.  We hosted a Hello Kitty party with 11 of Molly's friends from preschool and gymnastics. 
 
 
Here's some of the girls, which included THREE set of twins!
 

The party wouldn't have been complete without a pinata.  The boys helped us knock the candy out.

Our Hello Kitty favor bags.  Thank you for helping me with all the cutting, Rob!
 


Each girl got their own Hello Kitty bow.

We love you, Molly!  You're the sweetest three year old girl we know!

Happy Birthday, Molly!

We celebrated Molly's third birthday a couple of weeks ago.  We had to sandwich our celebrations around Gavin's first soccer practice.  We started with cake and a few presents.






After soccer, we let Molly choose where we went for her birthday dinner.  She decided on the Chinese restaurant in our neighborhood.  The food is always yummy, but the highlight was having the waiters sing "Happy Birthday" in Chinese and then Molly got to ring the gong and rub the Buddha belly for good luck.
 

 
After dinner, we went home to open one last present . . . Molly was very excited to get her first American Girl doll from Mom and Dad.  We decided on McKenna, since she's a gymnast like Molly.  She was a BIG hit!
 



Molly's First Day(s) of School!

Molly started preschool two weeks ago.  She was very excited to be able to go to school where Gavin went last year.  The first day was just a one-hour trial, and she loved it!  No tears when mom dropped her off.  She's such a big girl!


 
On the second day, she was more than ready for Daddy to walk her to school.  What a sweet girl with a big smile!  We love you, Molly!
