First off, the Saturday before her birthday, Julie (2 days away from having a baby) and I switched her bedroom to our guest bedroom. We gave her the BIG bed and bought new sheets and stuff to make it a special room. Chris' Grandpa moved in with us on Monday, so we decided he needed the bigger bedroom for all of his medical equipment and stuff.....so Allison got moved. She definitely doesn't mind at all, she LOVES her new room. Thanks for the help, Julie!
Here she is waking up in her new bed on her birthday!
Isn't she a doll?
Here's the new bedroom!I took the day off to be with Allison, and it was a good thing since we ended up moving Grandpa in that day - Chris ended up being home, too, since he had to go to the doctor for his lovely "issue" that NEVER goes away. Anyway, we all spent the morning together and then Allison and I went out to lunch with my Mom, Kevin, Chanel, Mark, and Mia at Taco Bell. Yummy! After lunch, we were supposed to go and pick up Grandpa, but Allison wasn't too interested in that and ended up spending the afternoon with Mark....which is her favorite thing to do!
That evening we had her birthday party at Walker Park. It was a Monday night, so I only invited immediate family (didn't want to mess up anyone elses family night). It was a beautiful day and we had a great time.
Here is Allison's birthday cake that Chanel made. It was so amazing and the little details were crazy! Strawberry Shortcake has never looked so good! Allison thought her cake was the coolest thing ever - thank you Chanel!

She picked this out to wear on her birthday - we had a difficult time getting it to stay on.
I LOVE this picture!.JPG)
We had pizza for dinner (her face just kept getting nastier as the night progressed - I guess that just shows what a great birthday it was for her).
And the kids LOVED the slide!

Time for the cake (it was so sad when I had to cut it up)..
Most of the kids at the party....Rose, Allison, Lacy, Mark, Mia, Kendall and Taylor.
Time for presents!Thank you everyone for helping to make Allison's birthday so special. It was such a crazy day, and I was worried her birthday would be ruined with everything that was going on, but it turned out great. And the best part of it all is she now has a cousin who SHARES her birthday. Little Hailee was born to Tim and Julie right before Allison's party started - so we definitely had more than one reason to celebrate. Congrats guys!
On Friday I took Allison in for her 3-year checkup. Here are the stats:
Height - 39.5 inches - 95th percentile
Weight - 35 pounds - 90th percentile
They also took her blood pressure for the first time - which was adorable (104/60). Allison was so perfect for the doctor and it made me realize how grown up she is. The only problem was, I had them give her a flu shot, which I told Allison was just a "little" shot. Well, apparently it hurt a lot because she was crying and saying, "Mommy, that was NOT a little shot, that was really really BIG". Whoops! At least maybe now she won't get the flu.
We love our little girl so much - it is crazy how big she is getting. That kid talks so well and is so smart, it amazes me. I love having regular conversations with her and getting to know her personality so much more. Her baby sitter's daughter is in cheerleading, so that is her new thing and she knows about 4 different cheers and performs them for us NON-STOP. That kid of ours has her own mind for sure and is so independent! I know we have our work cut out for us!
