Our new deck was the perfect setting for Annabelle’s Bee Bash. We celebrated her 3rd birthday with a family party including YaYa, Grandma and Grandpa Meyer, the Rewalts and the Lodden’s (sans Uncle Jeff because he had a basketball tournament). The kids made their own pizzas and had a blast splashing around in the pool. Annabelle really enjoyed opening her special gifts which included lots of gum! Uncle Paul seems to have maintained his Best Uncle EVER status by giving her a basball bat full of sugar-filled gum!!

We had a wonderful day celebrating with our big girl. It’s hard to believe she’s three! We couldn’t be more proud of her and she continues to amaze us daily. I can hardly wait to see what the next year holds….

The birthday girl!

Lots of love from her YaYa today

Very intrigued with greeting cards these days….

Happy Birthday to Annabelle!

Annabelle can lick all the icing off a cupcake and not get a single bite of cake. Quite a talent!

Sweet little Reagan enjoying some birthday treats

YaYa gave Gwyneth a quick bath during the party — FYI swim diapers are useless! Enough said on that. She rejoined the celebration just in time for cupcakes!

The Meyer crew

Crazy cousins! Notice Gwyneth’s face. She doesn’t know what to think of these maniacs!

And then there was gum….and lots of it!

Happy Birthday Miss Annabelle! We hope you had a very special day.
