Our baby is 3!

Her shirt said it all--"Oh Happy Day"
When she woke up on Sunday, she asked me, "now is it my real birthday?!"
Why, yes, big girl, it is.  The biggest grin came over her whole face.

 A few hours later, our family began arriving for her birthday lunch.  Memaw and Poppi brought this beautiful personalized rocking chair, that she immediately fell in love with.

Lyndsie brought this beautiful Frozen inspired birthday cake.
"Oh, I love it!" was Cameron's reaction.  It was perfect!

We had a full house to celebrate this little lady.  Two aunts, two uncles, two grandmas, two grandpas, one cousin and us four.  After Cafe Max for lunch, it was time to light the candles.

"Happy birthday, dear Cameron.  Happy Birthday to YOU!"

It took a few tries, but she blew out all three candles.  Yay!!!

How in the world did we get here so fast?

Just last year we were celebrating her big sister's 3rd birthday, right?!

Then somehow we went from 3 months old...

to 3 years old!
We love this fabulous girl so very much and are thankful she completed our family.

She got lots of fun presents, including her very own ball and glove from Bubbie.

A princess should have royal clothes to wear, so Gigi gave her a Cinderella gown...

and Belle gown, too.  Her two ladies-in-waiting were so sweet with her.

This girl is loved by so many and is thankful to have Aunt Lyndsie and Uncle Scott.

She also loves Aunt Maria and Uncle Andrew and was really happy that they came to her party.

And she always loves a good hug from Memaw and Poppi.

Thank you to everyone for making our little girl feel so special all weekend.

Gifts, Games and Good Food!

After Cameron's party at the gym, the fun definitely wasn't over.  

We took her gifts home and she got to open them!

First one--a FurReal kitten!  It meow, purrs and moves it's face.  She loves it.

Other favorites were this personalized leotard from the Shubzda girls...

and this Frozen microphone, which she immediately began to use.

She got a talking Moana doll, as well.  Loves this, too!

Maybe her favorite, though, was this fairy costume.  She insisted on wearing it right away.

"Hey Cami, we really need to change to go to brother's Mavs game, now."

"I'll just wear it to PSA, mom."

And she did!  

Who doesn't wear a tutu, wings, crown, polar bear boots and carry a wand when they go watch basketball?  This kid cracks me up.  She entertained a whole lot of people with this outfit, and the Mavs won!

An hour later, we were back for Lila's basketball game.

The Murphy Magic won big, 25-6!  Lila Lou is getting the hang of it and improving every game.  Very cool to see.

Two wins plus a birthday girl = dinner at Frankie's!  They brought out the sombrero for Cami, but she quickly and swiftly declined.  No fear, brother's here!

It was the perfect way to end our day.  Feliz cumpleanos, my big girl!

Tumble, Flip and Play--It's Cami's Third Birthday!

We hosted a few of Cami's closest friends (and their big sisters) for a run around, jump up and down, heckuva good time at Golden Grip Gym this past weekend.

I had an Elsa and Anna cookie cake specifically commissioned for the big occasion.
Thank you, Nestle Tollhouse!

Gigi (my rock!) met us there early to help with set-up.
She got one snuggle before the birthday girl ran off.

There are so many trampolines to be jumped on!

Sister got in on the fun...

and so did Cami's little friends, Bella, Ezra and Nash.  They all looked like popcorn in a bowl!

The big girls waited their turn very nicely, 

while Bubbie swung from the high bar.

Mama Lila made sure that Dylan was well taken care of in the pit, 

and Cameron got a little help from two other mamacitas--Teagan and Maddie.

Soon she was swinging on the bars all by herself.

We somehow rounded up most of the gang for a group pic.  The birthday girl was the VERY last one to sit down and only agreed to do that as long as she could sit in Maddie's lap.
On. her. own. time.  Such a stinker!

Some kids ran the obstacle course, but not the birthday girl!

She did come back when it was parachute time, though.

Sitting inside a big parachute always brings BIG smiles.

We made the stuffed animals fly to the ceiling.

Then Bella, Cami and Matthew were first to ride in the middle...

followed by Jackson, Teagan and Lila.

Colby, Samantha and Finley were the last to go--Colby just giggled the whole time.  So cute!

This girly was having SUCH a great time, and the fun wasn't over yet.

Tine for nuggets, goldfish and fruit.

And then it was finally cookie cake time!

"Happy Birthday dear Cami, Happy Birthday to YOU!"

She loved her cake!

"Oh my gosh, I'm three, mom!"

It won't be too long before the littlest sister will be running with the big girls.
She already thinks she's almost as big as them.

She said goodbye to her "Best Friend Sami,"

thanked Boom and Gigi for celebrating with her...

handed out the party favors and we headed home.
Another party is in the books!  The celebrations weren't over yet, though!
