Happy Birthday Numero Tres

Wow! Are you really already three years old. Well, the two's came and went. You weren't without your terrors, but overall you weren't TOO bad. If anything, mom and dad are just learning how to discipline you.

In your second year of life, you went to Ireland and Boston. You also traveled to LA and went to Disneyland. Plus you explored Napa. You've been more places this year than your Dad and Mom had been in the first 25 years of their lives. Nice!

So, the morning of your birthday, your Dad woke up and said, "Oh my goodness, no more two year old." He was rather sad, but also excited to see what lies ahead.

We had all of your friends and family over for your birthday...here's what went down...

Dad failed to capture you blowing out your candle. Luckily Grandpa was quick with his camera.

Ayjia! Take a lovely picture with your Great Aunt Elaine! Perfect!

Who needs cupcakes when you can just eat the frosting?

If you ever feel lonely or unloved, we'll pull out this picture.

Everyone put on your birthday hats!

Lucky girl got a pinata on her birthday!

And Aunt Julie became the pinata-monster to cap off the wondeful day!
