Kayda's Third Birthday

Kayda's birthday was a kind of crazy day! She woke up to a family room full of balloons, which both she and Dillon thought was fanstastic.

Then Uncle Justin surprised us by arranging with his friend to go see their horses. They have two: Doc is the brown one that Kayda and Dillon got to sit on, Brutis is the HUGE black one. Neither of the kids wanted to leave after almost an hour of wandering around with the horses and dogs. The lady you see in the pictures is Liz.

Then around lunch time Grandma and Grandpa G, Uncle Justin and Paige (Uncle Justin's girlfriend), Came over for icecream cake and presents. Aunt Kirsten and her family sent gifts with Uncle Justin and Kayda got a special birthday phone call from them later on.

Then in the evening...Grandma and Grandpa H, Uncle Scott, Aunt Anna, Uncle Greg, Aunt Liz, Baba, Peyton, Mikey, Jarrett, Ella, and our neighbors Jerry, Carla, Tazz and Kylie. Aunt Sarah and Uncle Pat spent the evening in the emergency room with Chase, he was having food troubles.

She named the big black horse Brutis after the real horse. We are so thankful to have so many people that care about our little ones and for them all to be so close. It was a wonderful third birthday. Thanks everyone for being there to celebrate with us.

Oh and the icecream cake was yummy. In a spring form pan: Crushed oreo cookies (1 package) with a little under 1/2 cup melted butter, 1/2 carton of icecream, hot fudge, another 1/2 of icecream, covered with whipped cream. Simple but takes a long time because you have to keep freezing in stages.
