The Doyal Diaries: Happy 3rd Birthday Bailey!!!

Three years ago, I laid woozily (if that's even a word) in a hospital bed and told all of my friends and family members that I had a precious little boy! Those were the drugs talking!

Three years later, I have the girliest girl I know and I love her to death! It's been so fun for David and me to watch her little personality develop. Bailey has turned into a funny, compassionate, strong-willed :) little lady.

The morning of her birthday, we started off with Pancake People- Bailey's favorite breakfast (thank you Holly W)!

Here's Bailey with her new favorite toy- her Dora four-wheeler.

Here are some pics from her birthday party. I've really been wanting to do a 50s themed party for a few years now, but decided to wait until Bailey was a little older so we could have her little friends come dressed in 50s attire too! You can check out my 365 photo blog for decorations that I made- I didn't really take any pictures of the decorations the day of the party.

Here's my happy b-day girl!

Bailey was SO excited to see all of her friends and family in one place! It was adorable watching her come up to each little friend and hug them as they arrived.

We had a pink convertible cutout for the kids to take their picture with. Of course, Bailey had to "jump in" the car with everybody!

If you know me well, you know I LOVE costumes!!! So I'm so glad a lot of the little ones dressed up. Here's Payton (Bailey's cousin) very convincingly playing the part!

Excited about presents!

This one's for you Lindsey Caroon! (My sweet friend Lindsey took pictures for me while I helped B open her gifts. Afterward, she commented on my many crazy facial expressions in most of the pictures.)
