3rd Birthday Celebrations

Calleigh had such an amazing day for her 3rd birthday. She got up early and saw her my little pony scene up on the wall and was excited straight away. Then came the presents- which she took ages opening as she wanted to play with each and every one as she opened them! 

After all the presents had been opened we went to pick up the cake and did a little Black Friday shopping before heading back for Calleigh to blow out her candles and have some cake. 

Tomorrow she has been invited to her best friends birthday party and she is so excited. Her best friend happens to be born on the same day as Calleigh- they are like two peas in a pod and are always together at daycare. 

Here are a few photos from Calleigh's day! 

Happy 3rd Birthday Calleigh

Just wishing my beautiful Calleigh Emma a very happy 3rd Birthday!!

I can't believe she's actually 3 now, it's crazy how these years seem to be flying by. Today will be filled with lots of birthday celebrations, surprises and cake! 

Memphis: Part Two

Our second day in Memphis we spent at Graceland! We stayed at Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel and spent the day touring Graceland and the Elvis museums. At night we went out for a birthday meal at TGI's and then spent the evening in the hotel room chilling out from such a busy and exciting day! Below are some pictures (well a lot) from our day.

Calleigh went through my make up bag!

Memphis: Part One

This last week we took a trip to Memphis for my birthday and it was a really really good one! 

We decided to drive down as it's only 4 hours away from where we live. We left early Tuesday morning and had a steady drive, stopping a couple of times for breakfast and to let Calleigh stretch her legs. We tried to see if she would go to the restroom but she wouldn't go in public still. We had no accidents though so that was good. 

We arrived at our hotel about 1pm and were able to check in. The first night we stayed in The Westin Memphis on Beale Street. It was really, really close to everything we wanted to see there and the Fed Ex Forum and Gibson Guitar factory were literally on the door step! 

After checking in and dumping our stuff in the room we tried to get Calleigh to go to the toilet but she still wouldn't go. As it had been almost 5 hours since she last went we decided the best thing to do would be to put her in a diaper to save any accidents whilst we were out. 

We headed straight to Beale Street and took a walk down. It was really cool. Lots of music shops, restaurants and bars and I finally got to see Jerry Lee Lewis' Honky Tonk Cafe. 

After a walk we decided to stop for some food and we went to Hard Rock Cafe. I got my Hard Rock Memphis T shirt and we had a awesome burger and Calleigh also managed to give herself a black eye by falling off her chair. Luckily it faded after a short while and wasn't so bad. We headed back to the hotel to relax for a bit after all the food and then took another walk down Beale Street as there was a car show on. We stopped in Jerry Lee Lewis' and had a drink whilst Calleigh had a nap and then decided to head back to the hotel for the night as not many places will let children in at night. 

The next morning was my birthday!! Calleigh woke me up shouting Happy Birthday Momma and handed me my cards and presents. We opened them on the bed together. I got some really lovely presents and was really happy with them all and thank you to everyone who sent me a card :-) 

We then got dressed ready to head out to our next hotel- Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel!!

I wore the beautiful dress Paul got me for my birthday :-) 

The party hats were mandatory!
