how Liz spent her birthday

Liz had an eventful third birthday.

The day began with presents from Mommy, Daddy, and Kate.

We had pizza for lunch.

Then we went to the mall to ride the carousel.

The girls also rode in the kiddie rides.

Liz was not comforted by the lion in the passenger seat.

And, apparently, she doesn't enjoy Kate's driving either.

Our final stop at the mall was at the Cookie Company for cookies.  Liz chose an M&M cookie.

Finally, after nap and supper it was party time.  Kate was Liz's very attentive helper.

Liz managed to unwrap at least one present on her own.

Liz changed into her new Minnie Mouse costume before the girls posed by the farm animal cake.  Of course, she wanted  her new horses included in the picture too.

Then, she made a wish and blew out the candles.

Dear Liz,

Today is your 3rd birthday!  I find myself overwhelmed and unable to put words to all the love I have for you.

You are a strong little pickle and have certainly begun to show your independence and opinions in the last year.

 You give the best hugs, wrapping your little arms around my neck and cradling your head on my shoulder.   

You are sweet and considerate.  I often see you rubbing your sister's back when she is upset.

You have a temper that does not flare up often, but when it does we all cover our ears.

Thank you for being the amazing, wonderful, mysterious you!  Each day with you is an adventure.

Happy birthday little Lizzie!

I'll love you always!
