We had a blast today at The Little Gym celebrating Madison\u2019s 3rd birthday!<\/p>\n

They played this game where the kids ran around in a circle and then froze, but Rose was running the wrong way.  Noelle noticed and scooped her up and started running with her in her arms.  Rose was having a blast and everyone was laughing.  It was so neat seeing Noelle watching out for her like that.  However, Anna Kate felt excluded and started bawling her eyes out, so Noelle had to put Rose down and hold hands and run with Anna Kate after that.  Noelle takes care of them both so well, and they really look up to her.  I love it! <\/p>\n

They then had an activity with scarves, and the girls loved that!<\/p>\n

Then they had open gym time\u2026<\/p>\n

Noelle was so excited to wear her \u201c4th of July\u201d gym suit.  I got tons of really awesome gym suits for so cheap (like $3-5 cheap) at the consignment sale this past spring.  Even though we don\u2019t take gym weekly, the girls love going to camps every couple of months.<\/p>\n

Mindy did such a great job making Madison\u2019s birthday party so special.  Rapunzel was the theme and the girls loved these cupcakes in ice cream cones.  Anna Kate said the window of Rapunzel\u2019s castle tasted so good!<\/p>\n

This is the only picture I got of Anna Kate with Madison.  This age is just so hard\u2026 they are seriously so busy!<\/p>\n

Noelle was checking out the cool lantern on the table!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2625\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This was the first time I\u2019ve ever let Rose sit at a birthday table all by herself.  She was beyond proud of herself and ate everything on her plate!<\/p>\n

Madison\u2019s hair was so pretty!  Her Mommy helps me with the girls\u2019 bows and is so creative!<\/p>\n

We had such a blast!  This afternoon was the most fun I\u2019ve had in a long time.  I felt really healthy, and it was just such a blessing to watch my girls loving each other and having fun with their friends!  Thanks Madison!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
