Miss Maggie

I forgot I had these pictures and hadn't blogged them yet.  On Sadie's actual birthday (side note: Sadie says "actually" all. the. time. but it comes out "Ashwee"...too cute) we had an afternoon of fun.  Sadie was allowed to choose where she wanted to eat for lunch...no surprise she chose McDonalds.

When I asked her to say cheese...

Then we chose to take her to Build-A-Bear.  We have never done Build-A-Bear.  I was asking a friend who I know has done it if she thought it was worth the money and she really talked it up.  A day or two later while clipping my coupons I came across a $10 off coupon to the store that would expire the week after her birthday!  Perfect.  So after lunch we headed for the mall...

Sadie chose a bunny.  It took a little coaxing.  She was confused why it wasn't stuffed...she wanted the nice big fluffy one (the sample), but we talked her into it.

Headed to make our bunny...

Filling it...

Sadie was not a fan of the noise...

So big brother came to the rescue...

All done....

Testing her out to make sure she's fluffy and soft...

Picking out her heart...

Then she had Sadie go thru this whole ceremony with the heart...rub it on your knee so she'll never "need" anything...

Rub it between your hands so she'll know you'll always give her a hand...

This went on and on...

Sadie was getting a kick out of it...

Can you tell who wasn't into Build-A-Bear...

Close your eyes and make a wish...

Give it a kiss...

And put it in...

Next it was bath time (which was a little loud)...

She was glad Elijah was there to help...

Scrub scrub scrub...

Picking out an outfit...this took forever...

Dressing her...

All dressed...

Making her birth certificate and giving her a name...Miss Maggie...

Heading home...

The next day I took her to Toys R Us to pick out a gift.  (If you sign your child up at Toys R Us they get a $3 gift card for their birthday)...

They also get a crown and balloon while they shop.  (and if you get the right employee that day they will announce over the speaker that there is a special birthday girl in the store)...

Sadie chose bath color tablets for her gift.  If you don't have these they're really fun.  You drop a pellet in the tub and it turns the water that color.  Its nice because it won't stain.

We had a wonderful birthday with our precious Sadie.  I love the 3rd birthday...they seem to really get it for the first time!  Happy Birthday!
