Today Scout turned three! Wow, I won't say that it seems like just yesterday that she was a little pup, but it is crazy to think that it has been almost three years since we brought her home! The Brown family is not one to normally celebrate dog birthdays, but this year was an exception. Makena got invited to a real birthday party in a week and we are trying to make sure that she is ready for new experiences before she enters a crowd (and this party will be awesome and over-the-top, so we wanted her to at least know what was going on). So...we threw Scout a mini-party, complete with balloons, a present, cake, guests, and party hats (it was quite a party for only $12)! Makena did great and really warmed up to Linda and Kenneth by the end of the party. We sang the birthday song and enjoyed our mini-cake (after all...any excuse to have cake, right?). It was the first time I've really witnessed Makena on a sugar high. Watch out world! Her squeals of delight went up at least a decibel as she dragged me by my finger around the house at breakneck speed! It was adorable and she spent so much energy running around and screaming that she collapsed almost exactly 30 minutes later!
Scout with her birthday hat - she sure didn't like me for doing that to her (Boo got off scott free with this one too!)
Balloons are one of Makena's favorite things - she calls them "abbas" and was so amazed that we spent 30 minutes blowing them up!
Our great neighbors, "Grammy" Linda and "Papa" Kenneth stopped by to help celebrate! They are the best!
Mama and Makena in our party hats holding Scout's present... she LOVED the cake!Boo....we'll have a party for you too! Don't worry...
