Ivey's 3rd Birthday Party with Family

We had a party at home the weekend of her birthday with family. Sarah and Allison came the night before to help set up. The theme for the party was Pinkalicious. Everything was decorated in pink, including Ivey! We had pink cupcakes, pink cake pops and pink punch! So much fun!



Sarah and Anne hit it off. They are about six months apart in age.



 


Ivey's new pink bike. Hopefully she will be ready to ride by summer.
She was a little intimidated by its size.



Ivey's 3rd Birthday Party with Friends

Ivey celebrated her birthday with her friends at My Gym, a local gymnastics place. She had a joint party with her friends Toler and Tyler since they each had January birthdays too.

Ivey blowing out her candle. We had to stop her from putting it out with her fingers. Yikes!



Ivey loves to give her dolls (and Mom and Dad) shots from her new doctor kit.

Winter Fun

We made it to the mountains the first weekend in January just before the crazy cold weather hit. Joe took Ivey to Beech Mountain to try out the town sledding hill. He was so excited and thought she was going to love it. She went with him once and did not want to go again. He convinced her to go again for Mommy and the camera. And he thinks he is going to get her on skis this year! Hmmm...

Julia graduated to the big tub. She loves to take a bath with her sister.
She starts out at the far side of the bath and scoots over to Ivey by the end.

Ivey's new seat for Joe's car. Julia inherited her old seat.
Ivey loves the cupholder and special places to stash her toys.
