Halle's 3rd Birthday!

Our sweet Halle turned three years old last week. I can hardly believe she is already three. Halle is such a sunshine in our lives. She is such a happy and sweet little girl and is always up to something. She is easy going but determined at the same time. She is busy and very smart. She loves coloring and doing puzzles and is such a talker! She has been talking like she was three since she was literally one and half, so I'm so used to it, but we will still be around someone that doesn't know us as well and they will say, "Wow, she is an amazing talker!"  She really is and she is so social. She will talk up and talk to anyone and makes friends very easily. She is tough, she rarely cries when she gets hurt. She is best friends with Luke and they are such good little friends. She is so sweet and has such a good little soul. It melts my heart when she says, "I love you, Mama." or "Thank you, Mama." I love that she calls me Mama. Sometimes it's Mommy, sometimes Momsy, but whenever she tells me she loves me or thank you it's always Mama. I love this little girls with all my heart and don't know what I would do without her.

Halle LOVES Yo Gabba Gabba, a funny little kid show. It's her favorite show in the world and she got little Yo Gabba Gabba stuffed animals for Christmas that she loves to play with. So of course, she wanted a Yo Gabba Gabba birthday party. I was worried I wouldn't be able to find anything Yo Gabba Gabba themed, but thank goodness for the internet! I was able to find all sorts of fun Gabba stuff for her party. It was just a little party with the four of us, Grandma Lori and Grandpa Sheldon, Uncle Jake and Aunt Jamie.  We ate hot dogs for lunch, then had Yo Gabba Gabba cupcakes, then she opened presents and we did a pinata. It was a lot of fun.

The one thing she REALLY wanted for her birthday was "a DJ Lance Doll." She has been talking about getting a DJ Lance doll for forever. DJ Lance is the DJ that is in the Yo Gabba Gabba show. She got all the animal characters for Christmas but I never thought she would want a DJ Lance too. But she sure did, and has been talking about it literally since Christmas! So I finally found one online. He is quite hilarious, has a big orange fro and wears all orange...probably not typically a "doll" that a little three year old girl would want, but Halle sure did! She also got some Yo Gabba Gabba bath toys and  Dora microphone from us. Grandma Lori and Grandma Sheldon gave her a cute little car with a mommy, little girl and doggy. She really likes it.

The pinata was fun. Halle had fun trying to hit it. Luke has a really good swing and was hitting it really good and hard, but the pinata was tough and they couldn't quite get it. So we asked Uncle Jake to join in, and he finally busted it open! It was filled with fruit snacks - Halle's favorite treat - and a few little toys. Halle loves Uncle Jake and thinks he is so neat, it's pretty cute.

I asked Halle if there was anything else special she wanted to do on her birthday other than have a Yo Gabba Gabba party with cupcakes and a pinata, which is what she said she wanted. She said she wanted to go swimming. So after the party everyone went home and Cory and I took Halle and Luke to the Herriman Rec Center and went swimming there. They have some fun water slides and things and the kids loved it. It was a fun day.

We love our Halle girl so so much! What a special little girl. It makes me sad that she's growing so fast, but I am also excited to watch her as she grows up. I know she will be a lot of fun to watch and see what she does with all her talents, her outgoing personality, and her spunk for life!

WE LOVE YOU HALLE!!!!
