Aubrey's 3rd Birthday

Who is this two-year-old??

Is this little girl going to be three tomorrow??

Yes she is!! Last night as a two-year-old!!

Kenzie woke me up bright and early Sunday morning so we could put the finishing touches on Aubrey's decorations! I didn't have my camera ready when she woke up, but when I peeked in she was in awe of the balloons over her bed!

Kenzie made her a birthday crown, but Aubrey wouldn't even think about wearing it until she was properly dressed in her princess dress!

"I love you, Aubrey!"

Aubrey discovering the new dress we bought her to wear to church on her birthday!

I love this little three-year-old! I love her whole personality! Sitting in the chair decorated by her big sister, wearing her dress up at 7:45 Sunday morning and her birthday crown. Sippy cup never far from her. Determined that she could open the present all by herself. She is a bundle of joy and determination!

Magnadoodle!

Lucy giving Daddy some love. Notice the necklace she is wearing. She finds this necklace everyday and puts it on (how many 10-month-olds even know what to do with a necklace let alone have figured out how to wear it?) and wears it as she crawls around the house feeling very beautiful!

After church we came home to open more presents. Kenzie was so excited to give her two presents...

A Snow White Dress Up!!!

And...

A wedding veil!! She asked Jake to marry her and be her prince!! LOVE these years!

Dora/Elmo family/neighbor party...

Poppop and Isaac!

Playing "Pin the Tail on Swiper"

Aubrey sang, "Happy Birthday to ME!"

For some reason, Aubrey refused to blow out her candles... good thing we always have a big sister on hand!

Memom and Isaac... Memom has to hide from Lucy whenever she holds Isaac because Lucy screams with jealousy... she is like that when my mom holds Sophie too... it's really funny (for now!)

My handsome future-son-in-law... how many more years can I get away saying??

Present Time!!

Hello Kitty boots from Memom... she clumped around in these the rest of the party! Such a nice combo, Snow White in rain boots!

Sam admired Aubrey's technique for getting into presents!

Our big three-year-old!!

Her big 8-year-old friend Lizzi!

God has blessed us with wonderful neighbors who are very dear friends!!

Lovin' life with this three-year-old... who is currently swimming in the bath tub in her bathing suit Miss Brittany gave her... never a dull moment... far too many crazy ones... wouldn't have it any other way!!
