Elsie is 3!!

 I cannot believe that my baby is 3!!  She is definitely strong willed!!! However, she is the sweetest little gal and loves her family so so much!!  She talks a mile a minute :) and loves to dress up and look beautiful!  She is also a very excellent singer and dancer :)!!

To start off the day we had a little Easter activity with friends!! Unfortunately it was very rainy... but the kiddos had a blast anyway!!!

All the kids made their teeth blue with robins eggs...on Ryan's suggestion!!  Leave it to Ryan... :)

 Once we got home, we just had to do birthday girl make-overs while daddy and Beckham ran errands!!

 Here us Elsie helping me make the cream cheese frosting for her cake!!

Once the boys got home, the party began!!  We started off by playing some "monkey" games since we were having a Curious George themed party!! For the first game the kids had to run around and find all the bananas!!

 Next, the kids played "Monkey See, Monkey Do"- a scavenger hunt of sorts with challenges :)

They had to do jumping jacks...

 hop on one foot...

 follow clues...

 run laps...

 do pushups...

 give hugs...

 and bust some dance moves!!

 We also played a "Feed George the banana" game!!  This may have been the favorite, oddly enough!

Then Elsie got to open up present!! She had been so patient all day!

 Then for dinner, we roasted "Hundley" hot dogs and ate outside!!

 Then had cake and banana splits!!

 Jane and Beckham and I made out kitchen into a jungle for the party :) Elsie loved it!!

To top this wonderful day off, a dear friend of Elsie's stopped by to drop off a gift for Elsie and they stayed and played for awhile outside!!  It was a lovely end to a lovely day!!  We sure love our Elsie girl!!
