Last Saturday my Babygirl turned 3.  YES!  THREE!!!  I’ve asked her to slow down a bit but she’s just like her Daddy and doesn’t listen! 😉  (Just kidding Jim)!!

Well her party isn’t for another week so we wanted to do SOMETHING special for our Birthday Girl.  We decided we’d take her to Sesame Place.  She had never been before so we knew it’d be perfect!!  And as usual, Mommy and Daddy were right… She loved it!!!!! 🙂

Appletini Photography_296Hadley was so excited when we entered the park.  We always pass Sesame Place when we head to the Mall and she always begs to go.  We always tell her ‘when she’s a little older’.  Well on Saturday… she was just that… a little older!  I think it made turning 3 even more special!!!Appletini Photography_297

As soon as she saw the characters there was no stopping her.   Appletini Photography_298

The Count, Zoe, Oscar the Grouch, Super Grover, (whoever that orange one is) … She couldn’t wait to hug all her Sesame Street friends!  Appletini Photography_299 Appletini Photography_300 Appletini Photography_301 Appletini Photography_302

After a ride on the Merry-Go-Round we headed over to Abby’s Paradise Theater to see a show.

We were the first ones there so let the Birthday Girl pick our seats!  Not that she sat in them.  While we waited she ran up and down the bleachers!  I suppose when you’re 3 that is great fun!  Not so much when you are ten times that and pregnant 😉 ! Appletini Photography_303

Then the show started!  I must admit the gang on Sesame Street can really move!Appletini Photography_305 Appletini Photography_306Hadley lasted about ten minutes into the show, then she was ready to go!  There was way to much to see and do outside of the theater!Appletini Photography_308 Appletini Photography_309 Appletini Photography_310

When it was time to go, since it WAS her birthday, and we ARE awesome parents, Jim and I decided to let our sweet 3-year-old pick one toy from the gift shop.  So we shopped!  And to Mommy and Daddy’s surprise Hadley picked THE smallest toy in the shop.  WHEW!  We got outta there spending much less than we had planned!  THAT’S OUR GIRL!!!!  Appletini Photography_311Isn’t her itty bitty Cookie Monster fantastic!?  😉

 

After spending her entire birthday at Sesame Place, we went home for cake!  NO birthday is complete without cake!!

Hadley helped me bake and icing it with her favorite color!

Appletini Photography_312Princess Hadley had a great third birthday filled with joy, laughter, tons of smiles and purple teeth!!… JUST what a sweetheart like her deserves on her special day!

Although, even though her birthday IS over, that doesn’t mean the celebration is… OR the preparation!  So much crafting… so little time!  Her party is only a week away!  Stay tuned 🙂 !!!
