Bella's 3 birthday (2 months later...)

Bella's birthday was a lot of fun. We took her out to lunch at "The fancy restaurant" she always points to when we drive past (Olive Garden in American Fork). she was so excited to eat there! The look on her face when we told her where we were eating for lunch because of her special day....PRICELESS.

I let her choose this year what kind of party to have. I told her we could swim, bowl, or have a party in the backyard again. She chose bowling which surprised me, because she has only been bowling like once in her life! Bowling worked out great, because at Fat Cats in the summer, kids bowl free! You just have to pay for the shoe rental- which only cost two bucks a person. Including the balloons and party favors (her Nana bought the cupcakes) we spent less than $30.

Most of her cousins came, and a couple friends. We had so much fun. She got a table and chairs from Nana and Papa, a fish from Aunt Star which she named Mystery, a Dora couch/bed from Mom and Dad, Littlest Pet shops, a purse and shirt from the Johnson cousins, a Furreal duck from Jayce, and more! She loved everything. She ate probably 3 cupcakes, and stole the princess rings out of most of them.

It was a great day, celebrating Bella's life. We are so grateful she got to be in our family. It wouldn't be the same without her!
