Keelin Turns 3!!!

Keelin had a wonderful day today!!! When she woke up this morning around 7am, she came in to my room and woke me up. I immediately said, "Happy Birthday, Keelin!" Keelin replied, "Where is it?" I asked her, "Where is what?" Keelin said, "Where is my birthday?"
Can you tell she is in that stage where she has to see or touch something to understand it? Regardless... she sure did enjoy today!

Keelin's day started with her mamaw and papaw picking her up and taking her to the zoo and lunch! She had her bags packed! She was ready to go!!!

I made Keelin a cookie cake! She will have birthday cake this weekend for her party!

Keelin opened her presents in the early evening when Drew got home from work.

My parents arrived around 4:30 and where able to join in the fun!!

Great-Grandma Planck got her a beautiful Christmas dress!

Uncle Jeff and Shauna sent Keelin a Dora nightgown and a Dora play tent!

Drew and I got her golf clubs! Can you tell she is excited to learn how to play?

(The Dora sweat outfit is from her mamaw and papaw!)

Dress up clothes from Grandma and Grandpa
