My baby is 3!

Three years ago we welcomed a tiny bundle of joy into our growing family. In the last three years, she has grown into a petite little girl who is full of life, loves to laugh and is ready to conquer the world! She is reserved when she meets new people, but it doesn't take her long to make new friends. She is one of those kids who is loved by everyone! She has tons of friends and is so much fun! She makes us laugh, and she tries my patience beyond belief. However, I would not change her for the world. I can't wait to see what God has in store for this precious girl. I know it's going to be a great adventure!

As always, Mollie's birthday lasted over several days. We began the festivities with a party at the Segars. Since they were heading to San Antonio for spring break, Tammy had us over for dinner and a birthday celebration. I took pictures, but there was a little bit of jealousy floating around our house. Ellie decided that she had had enough of it just being "Mollie, Mollie, Mollie," so she decided to delete all the pictures on my camera. Fortunately for Ellie, I didn't lose it and Brian and Mandy had taken pictures. Oh, sisters!

Mollie's "Friend Party" was at our church. We had the bistro area decorated with purple balloons and a Hannah Montana table cloth on the food table. We had Hannah Montana cupcakes decorated with pink, blue and white icing. The kids played in our church's indoor playground and on our bouncer that we had set up in the gym. They also "played" basketball. They had the best time. Because M's party was during spring break, there were several of her friends who weren't able to come. However, Mollie was pleased; and that is all that matters!


The Birthday Girl
Kelsey helped Mollie try to make a basket.

Mollie had a blast playing basketball with Noah.


Mollie was excited to have juice boxes - her favorite.


Not sure why this is sideways but this was just after Mollie blew out her candles.


Nannie, Brian's mom, and Mimi , my mama, helped dish up the ice cream.

My friend Chrissy was super sweet to sit her her girls Kayla and Katie as well as Elijah and Natalie.

Noah, Haven, Mollie and Bailey enjoying their cupcakes.

Unfortunately, Noah got a little freezie headache.

Papa Jim was on Annie duty.

Mollie enjoyed her cupcake so much that she got pink icing EVERYWHERE!


Mollie was thrilled with the make-up that Miss Susan and Colby got her!
She also got a Spiderman from Micah. We all laughed but that was what she asked him to get her!


PawPaw and Nannie before they had to leave to head to Fayette to see Brian's Mamaw.
Mollie's final celebration was lunch with my family at Mimi and Papa Jim's house. As is our tradition, we all get together for a special birthday lunch after church. Mollie was so excited! We were sad though that Caleb and Stephanie couldn't be home. They had been home the weekend before for Annie's dedication at church. Kelsey and Micah were home which was wonderful.
Mollie blew out her candles quickly before Noah and Ellie could do it. The three of them like to blow out each other's candles. It's hilarious!

Noah decided to sit with Brian while he ate his cake and ice cream.


She was very excited about the hairdresser chair that she got from us.


She also liked her new Batman. Yes, she asked for Batman to go with her Spiderman - of course!

Mollie was thrilled with her tea set from Noah, Mandy & Josh.

Mollie loved her Princess and the Frog doll - it changes from a princess to a frog.

Mollie loved her new baby doll bed that Mom and Papa gave her! It was perfect!
