Our little Callie turned 3 years old on March 8th. She was very excited for her birthday and talked about it quite a bit as it came closer. It's fun when the kids are old enough to anticipate the celebration!
In the morning, we went to an indoor play center called "Kango Play Center." The kids had a lot of fun playing and then we enjoyed some pizza and played some arcade games. The play center had a lot to offer between the bouncy houses, climbing structure, and tons of toys!
After the play center, we went home so Ryan could take a much-needed nap. While he slept, we sang "Happy Birthday," ate cake, and then opened presents. Callie's favorite color is still orange, as it was last year, so we did an orange and red theme (last year it was orange and pink.)
Callie loves "Daniel Tiger," which is a show on PBS. It's based on the characters from Mr. Rogers' Land of Make Believe.
Callie knew just what to do with her presents.
After opening some presents upstairs, we took Callie downstairs and gave her a stroller/baby carrier for her baby dolls. She immediately put a baby in and took her for a ride. She is really beginning to love taking care of babies. It's cute to watch.
For her main present, we got her this "roller coaster." It is really supposed to be an outside toy, but it's still cold and snowy outside, so we set it up in the basement for now. The kids can't roll as far as they could outside, so it will probably be even more fun when we get it out in the yard! We were actually thinking about getting a smaller version, but decided to go for the big one. What's funny is that the smaller version was actually set up at the Kango play center (pictured in the very first picture with Jack riding), and the kids really liked it, so we knew we were on the right track!
It's a great way to wear the kids out at the end of the day! They have to push the car back up every time they want to ride. What a workout!
Callie wanted to ride along with her baby doll. (And she's still "Super Callie.")
Jack was a good sport about letting Callie squish him while they rode together. Really, he just didn't want to miss out any opportunities to go for a ride!
Callie and Jack had a great time and were so exhausted by the end of the day! After Ryan took a nap, we went to Toys R Us (a birthday tradition) and Callie picked out a doll, then we ate dinner at Red Robin. What a day!
Happy birthday to our sweet girl!
