The K-Bear and Triple-J: All about the K-Bear

She's THREE!!!!! Well, almost. Her official birthday is Tuesday but we had a fabulous party at Kangazoom on Saturday with Kyle & Caden. Of course, she was a little under-the-weather for the big day - just like every year before - but we were probably the only ones who noticed.

What a difference a year makes huh? The baby face is disappearing!

Had to include a couple pictures with mom & dad - they are too rare.

We planned to get Kylie an outdoor playhouse for her birthday. After searching for a bargain on Craig's List, we decided to brave Toys R Us and get the job done. This was the first time we visited this store as a family - and only the third time Kylie or I have ever even been there. When we announced we were going to the "toy store" Kylie said "NO, I want to go to the bookstore!". Impressive right??? Well, actually, she just wanted to go to the bookstore to see the train (which is a toy anyway - so we can't take too much credit here). So, off we go to T.R.U. and boy did we get suckered into a lot more than we bargained for today! Every year we specify "no gifts" for Kylie's birthday party and we rarely buy her many toys. That being said, I think Jeff and I both felt some guilt/obligation/excitement about buying her several items that she asked for while we listened to her cute girly voice singing "I don't have one of theeeeeese".

So, we left T.R.U. with a Radio Flyer Scooter (so she can ride like Daddy), and a new helmet and knee pads (she never had an old one, hence the "obligation" to purchase this).

AND, a new playhouse - which she LOVES!

AND - a new princess dress-up set. AND - a new plastic pink princess chair. AND, last of all, a new T.R.U. credit card - so we could save $37 for opening a new account! :) Kylie made out like a bandit!

We ended the day by decorating cupcakes for school tomorrow. Jeff and I will be visiting for her birthday and our Parent of the Week duties.
