February 4......We had been talking about Brinleys upcoming birthday for weeks. Even the day before her birthday I was telling her no your not 3 yet. I was holding on to two as long as possible. It was so cute when she first woke up in the morning on her birthday still bleary eyed with a weak morning voiced asked me, "am I still two?" ...."NO your three now!" She had the biggest grin on her face and I had a tear in the corner of my eye. She picked out princess decorations, and lots of balloons. She wanted a real apple for her 2nd birthday last year, and this year she wanted an ipod. Quite the upgrade...but I assured her there would be no ipod. She was very excited about all her gifts, and has been riding her scooter around the house since it rained for several days after her birthday. Oh how I love this girl, she brings us so much joy, and laughter. Just a few days ago while picking up Aubrey from school I wanted her to stay in the car because it was raining...she wanted to walk in the rain, she said "I want to walk in the rain and I can stick my tongue out because I am very thirsty". I came home a few weeks ago the kids had been playing the wii, and in that game you make characters of yourself. My kids made hers very chubby. So when I came home she announced to me "mom I'm very chubby". I had to tell the other kids to stop calling her that. I love you Brinley so happy you are a part of our family!!!
I took Brinley to the party store to pick out some decorations for her birthday, when I was getting her out of the van I noticed she buckled the bag up. Must protect this precious cargo :)
We had lots of pink balloons that added a nice pink glow around the kitchen. We also have lots of hearts that we made for FHE, they each have love messages for everyone in our family.
I'm three!!!! Mastering holding three fingers like this is harder than it looks.
