Maggie is 3!

Maggie turned 3 years old this past weekend.  Where has the time gone?  She has grown into the sweetest, most generous 3 year old I know.  She knows her own mind and doesn't hesitate to let us know what she wants.  She loves her sister and Mommy and Daddy and is becoming so much more affectionate and open with other people.  She is really smart and already knows colors, shapes, most letters and numbers, how to spell her name, and what letters her friends' names start with!

We started the day off with our family tradition: a birthday donut on the Happy Birthday plate.  Maggie has a unique way of enjoying donuts... Here is a before and after:

We had a little Princess & Superhero birthday party at our house on Saturday (totally stole the theme idea from my sister Julie!).  It was the perfect party for her.  Her friends came and played in our playroom and backyard.  The new swingset was a hit, of course! The kids also got to decorate crown and mask sugar cookies and decorate foam tiaras and masks. 

Sweet Spider Man Winn!

 A princess and her superheros!

 Superman Reeves!

 The bubble machine that Maggie's Great-Aunt FA gave her for her birthday was also a hit!

One super-sweet story from our weekend:  Maggie got $3 in birthday money from her Nana and Pop.  I asked her if she'd like to put it in her piggy bank or take it to the store and buy something.  She said "I want to buy something! A special Tinkerbell balloon for Campbell."  You see, Campbell had a Tinkerbell balloon last week and she accidentally let it go.  It was very upsetting for her and apparently Maggie remembered how upset she was and wanted to make her happy by replacing it.  What 3 year old has that kind of generous spirit?!  She inspires me to be a better, more self-less person.  So, after church we went to the Dollar Tree and Maggie bought each of them a balloon.
