Balloon Countdown [For Kids]

Update: I'll be taking Wednesday off to spend some time with my family but will return with two more deployment posts the following days.  Stay tuned!

I have some amazing news to share!  Our balloon countdown that we've been working on for the last 41 days is finally complete!  What were we counting down?  Well, my darling husband has been away flying his airplane in far off lands.  

Balloon Surprise!

Our baby girl is turning three!  She just recently started sleeping in a big girl bed and even more recently started venturing into our bed at 8 am... every morning.  I can't complain, though.  8 is a very respectable hour!

Well, thanks to the power of Pinterest, I decided to surprise attack her with balloons and force her to break through some streamers in order to get to our bed.  I'm fully anticipating her to freak out and scream.  But I know once she realizes what happened, she'll be thrilled.  I hope she talks about this all day.

I've seen this done so many ways by so many people
that I couldn't possibly give everybody credit... 

I'll be back with more birthday details later!  I'm looking forward to enjoying more cake with my little girl!
