Bella turns 3!!!

I can't believe it...my baby is already 3!




Bella had a birthday party on her birthday in December. I finally found my camera cord so that I could show the pictures to all of you that couldn't be there. Everything was monkey themed because Dan and I have called her our little monkey since she was born. Little did we know that she would be able to climb and move like a monkey. My brother Seth says that he would love to take her rock climbing. Anyway, I made cute monkey invites that said, "Come and monkey around with us Bella is turning 3!" We had a party here at our home with family and friends. Dan's parents came the day before, and good thing because my parents came on Saturday, and they fought the icy roads the whole way here. They were only here for a few hours and then left so that they could get back home before it was dark. We had a bunch of food and cake of course. We had Monkey Mac and Cheese, Safari veggies, Jungle juice, and Monkey munch. All of the kids got these cute monkey mugs and little banana candies to take home with them.
Some of Bella's friends and cousins. Check out the cups.


The monkey cupcakes and the monkey cake that I made. Bella loved it!

Bella opening her gifts. She got way too much for a 3 year old, but she does enjoy all of it. She got tons of coloring books and sticker books because she likes to color every day. She also got a few games like Cooties and Monkeys jumping on the bed.

The grandparents spoiled her the most...here is a drawing desk from my parents.
Here is the rocking horse which Bella named "Poky" that she got from Dan's parents.


We got her games, the outfit she is wearing, snow stuff, clothes, and a jumpin' party.



This is how the kids ended the party...by going outside and playing in the fresh snow(the first that we had in the winter season.) Thanks to all of our family and friends for coming. It isn't a party without you. The Haws...you were exempt for this party, but you better be here for the next. :)
