Sophia is Three!

This past weekend was quite a whirlwind. I am still trying to recover from all of the activities. I have been playing Sophia's third birthday for months and it came and went so quick.

Friday Sophia had her very first dance recital. She did an amazing job and it was so fun to watch her perform on stage. I couldn't believe how at ease she was in front of all of those people with the lights. I am hoping that there will be many more to come.

Saturday was Sophia's third birthday. I can hardly believe how fast the time has gone. It seems like only yesterday she was learning how to walk. Now she is playing with Barbies and riding a big girl bike.
Here is a comparison for you:

She had a wonderful Cinderella party with her friends. They were so cute! They were dressed up in full princess gear and made crowns, wands, and colored Cinderella pictures.

I was proud of how the cake turned out since I made it myself and had this far fetched idea in my head of what I wanted to do.

After cake and ice cream, Sophia opened her presents. She was so excited to play with her new toys. She also got a new big girl bike from my parents. It was so funny to watch her ride it in the garage due to the rain in her Cinderella dress.

The girls left and we cleaned up a bit. Then we all took a little nap before we went out for dinner to the Rainforest Cafe at the Mall of America. It was a pretty chaotic restaurant, but we all had a great time.

Sunday we had friends over to watch the Twins game and then went to my parents for a BBQ before my brother left on Monday.

This week the weather has been beautiful and we have already spent quite a bit of time outside and swimming in the pool. I am looking forward to another weekend full of fun and family!
