Madelyn wasn't our only daughter that had a big day this weekend, so did our peanut Mikayla. Sunday she turned 3 years old! I knew months in advance that Mikayla would be sharing her birthday weekend with Madelyn's recital so we decided to celebrate her BIRTH-DAY in relaxing ways.
First was a Birthday Breakfast, I made Mikayla's favorite... pancakes!!
After breakfast we got a special phone call. Grandpa Copp & Grandma K had arrived and were settled at their vacation rental house. So we packed up our pool stuff and headed over for a Birthday Swim. This is the same house my Dad & StepMom rented 2 years ago. We actually had Mikayla's 1st Birthday/Christening party here!
Mikayla LOVES to swim, she has no fear and is quite a natural. She still wears floaties for now but we're hoping to ditch them soon! After a couple hours Mikayla was getting tired so we called it a day, after all we still had presents to open back at home!!
Mikayla's birthday balloon bouquet!
Our peanut was quite excited to open her presents, so much so I couldn't get a picture of her without making a goofy face! Silly Mikayla...
Mikayla got some FUN stuff! Mike & I picked out TinkerBell & Disney Princess toys, a couple books and her very own keyboard!!
She also got a new TinkerBell costume & slippers from Grandma Tait!!
Here's Maddy & Mikayla - one calm moment in between fights over Mikayla's birthday loot!
I gave Mikayla her choice of dinner favorites, home made pizza (a Schuth family specialty) or mini cheeseburgers (sliders, another specialty) & curly fries. She chose mini cheeseburgers but didn't actually eat one.... oh well... I tried. My Birthday Girl was getting tired.
Ladybug cupcakes for our Ladybug!
Mikayla had a great Birth-Day celebration, it was a relaxing carefree day for all of us, which is just what we all needed, especially Mikayla. This isn't the end of Mikayla's Birthday hoopla either, I've planned a gymnastics party at the Y for her next weekend. She's so excited, she can't wait to celebrate her Big Girl Birthday with her friends, cousins, aunties, uncles and Grandmas who will all be attending! See you all there!!
Now. No Birthday Blog would be complete without a walk down memory lane so here we go...
Ready to pop any day!
She's here!!
She's perfect!!

Little Mikayla lounging with me in our hospital bed just hours after she was born... giving birth was exhausting for the both of us!
