Annabelle's 3rd Birthday & Easter - Springfield, MO

On March 29th we celebrated our sweet Annabelle's 3rd birthday!  We love this girl so very very much!  We were at Jeff's home in Springfield, MO during Annabelle's birthday.  We had a great long weekend and so much fun!  Brace yourself for a lot of pictures.

Ever since Jeff's birthday in February, Annabelle has been talking about her "pink" birthday so we tried to do just that, pink!  She wanted Chex cereal with pink milk for breakfast.  She then opened her first present, fun shaped scissors with pink paper.

We love our new 3-year-old birthday girl!

Annabelle loves the park so we went there for a picnic lunch.

                      

After lunch and naps we went to the bounce house.  Annabelle's cousins Kinley, Pearl, and Henry were able to be there for her birthday and they all had a blast together.  I love that we were able to get some great deals on our activities and food for the day.  We worked "Which Which" with some great coupons.  We were also able to admit 5 kids and 7 adults to the bounce house for a grand total of $5.

Next we went home and had some pizza for dinner.  There was a mix up at the store and we scored 3 large pizzas from Pizza Hut for $10 total!

Annabelle wanted doughnuts for her birthday treat, and yes we used coupons and got a deal on these too.  Can you tell we are a medical student family and are always after a good bargain? 

        

She chose a maple glazed with chocolate icing.

Annabelle opened her presents and has been loving them all ever since.

                          

We also did a few egg hunts and had some fun Easter activities with Jeff's family.

I enjoyed a nice 7 mile run in the rain and then we went right to an Easter carnival.

I guess Elsie was getting bored of eating.

This baby girl has so much fun personality.

Annabelle collected a lot of eggs at the Easter carnival.

 

We of course had to dye Easter eggs.

Most of the weekend was rainy but it all cleared up for Easter so we went on a nice walk to visit the horses.

My girl!  I love her sweet sweet sweetness.

Elsie likes to wave and is getting really good at mimicking.  

One morning Jeff took Annabelle and her cousin fishing and they actually caught a few.

We had a fantastic trip!  Thank you to everyone for all the fun!
