Alexa's Birthday

Alexa turned 3 years old on March 1 and lucky for us, her birthday landed on a Sunday so she could actually have her birthday party on her birthday.

Alexa decided that she wanted to have a "Cars" party. Cars is one of her favorite movies besides Wall-e.

Lots of balloons for this party!

I can't believe that Alexa is 3 years old already. It's so funny because before that, it seemed like she was still so little and now it's like once they turn 3 they're so old. Soon to be off to school and all that fun stuff. I think that I may be a little sentimental because we found some video of Alexa when she was just learning to walk and I couldn't believe how little she was and how big she is now. She's not a little baby anymore! Also this week, I managed to get her into the 3 year old program at the local playschool. When I went to check out the classroom I had a "moment"when I realized that this is the beginning of Alexa going to school. I was so excited for the possibilities and the adventures that I know she'll have.

LRT Adventure

So for our family day activity Brad came up with the idea of going on a LRT Adventure. Alexa is in love with trains and we thought that it would be a fun and inexpensive way to have an adventure. Cheaper than going to the movies! That's for sure.

Here we are just about to go down to the trains.

We rode to the University and got off, we checked out Hub Mall and had a snack. Then we went over to Rutherford House for a tour. It was actually really awesome. I had never been in there before.

All in all, a fun time was had by all. There are so many cool things to check out so close to home. And little ones are amazed by the littlest things. Mind you, so are adults, when they allow themselves to have fun.
