Our baby girl is 3 years old! I can't believe it....we had a great birthday weekend with her. The thing that I will NEVER forget is how every time we sang "Happy Birthday", she would sing with us, to herself..."Happy Birfday dear Melanie...." It was about the cutest thing ever!!
We went to the Braves game on Friday night because she "wanted works for her birthday just like Magoo gets for her birthday" so Uncle Bobby got us tickets for the game. We had awesome seats, but the people in front of us didn't like us....Meredith kept sticking her hands in her sprite and then wiping her hands on the guy's shirt right in front of her! (They didn't stick around too long).
Poor Mellie didn't get her works though....it began pouring rain, and we had to make a run for the cars! Papa and Mom Mom bought everyone ponchos, so ther girls didn't get soaked, but it was a very nasty storm.
The next day we went up to Athens for picture day! Daddy got in line at 3:15 am for a ticket to have a picture with Uga VII....and he was the 94th person in line! At 3:15 am! Crazy! But the girls had a great time in Athens, they weren't that crazy about Uga, but they did okay! Melanie wanted a picture of her and Daddy with Hairy Dawg, and since we didn't see the real Hairy Dawg (except from far away) we had to settle for the painting at Little Italy!
We went over to Grandma and Grandpa's for dinner after picture day. Mary came home from Alabama for Melanie's birthday and we all had a lot of fun, except for when Meredith got Mary's phone, unlocked it, and somehow called 911. Luckily Mary picked up the phone and was able to tell the 911 operator that a baby had gotten her phone, and that they didn't need to send anyone out.
The next day was Melanie's actual birthday!! The birthday girl decided to sleep in, and while we were waiting, Magoo was trying to get at Melanie's breakfast...
After Mellie woke up, we ate breakfast, and then we had some Mommy and Mellie time. She wanted to go to QT and get a drink, and then stop by Mom Mom's, where she got a new Hannah sweatshirt and backpack and lunch box, which she had to bring in to Publix with us, where we got subs for lunch and seriously, a Hannah Montana balloon that was taller than Melanie. We went to the pool for a little while and just relaxed, which was really nice. Then we had to go home and get ready for Chuck E. Cheese! We did Chuck E. Cheese for dinner with Mom Mom, Papa, Bobby, Lulu, Bill, and Jenny Lee...I think all the big kids has more fun than the little ones! Meredith would not get out of the monster truck there...I think she rode it about 25 times! It was all she wanted to do.
After that, we went home and did presents, and she got a ton of Hannah Montana stuff, which was all she wanted! She also got a princess scooter and we bought her a little ride-on motorcycle, because she always tells Eric that's what she wants!! It was a great birthDAY, but technically the celebrating still wasn't over because we still had her party with her friends the next morning!
Of course, it was a Hannah Montana birthday party. She showed up straight from her ballet class, all Hannah Montana-ed out!! Bathing suit, shirt, sunglasses, shoes, hairbow, everything was Hannah! And she wasn't a diva, she was a pop superstar! Silly girl....
We had a great party with her friends, where the kids ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches shaped like butterflies and stars, and all the moms had chicken salad...it was yummy! She got even more Hannah stuff from her friends, which she just loved, and got a pair of Snow White gloves from my Aunt Margie...she thought they were Santa gloves though, and everytime she put them on, the other kids would start telling her what they wanted! I think Braelyn told her she wanted a piano for Christmas.....I don't know where she gets her material!!
After 4 whole days of celebrating, it was nice to get back to normal! (For a little while anyway....Melanie says that Christmas is coming soon!!)
