I swear, time is speeding up! Rebecca is 3 today! She is our beautiful angel princess girl. Rebecca is fun and sweet and crazy and energetic all at the same time. She is such a good sharer (MOST of the time) and so loving to Daniel, acting like a little mommy, and she loves to play along with Steven as he creates fun games and scenarios. She can also bust a serious cap and let us all know who is in charge (and no, it is not Mom or Dad). Haha, she always keeps us smiling and laughing, though. We love to watch our kids grow and see the amazing, unique personalities they all have.
Today my parents took the kids and I to the mall to celebrate--and to take our minds off the heartbreak of last night. They treated us to corn dogs, ice cream cones, and a merry-go-round ride. Thank you! What a blast! The outing ended so perfectly as we ate our cones by the fish pond. Daniel really enjoyed the ice cream, by the way! He would cry and scream as soon as he swallowed, not wanting even a millisecond without some in his mouth. Thanks again for the special birthday outing! We love living so close to so much amazing family.
(My mom loved that Rebecca picked the elephant--good girl!)
Tonight we had a quiet birthday dinner of pancakes, sausage, and eggs (the birthday girl got to pick) with our fam--Steven kept asking what family was coming and I had to keep naming us and explaining that it was just us, the people who sleep here. Rebecca did get a few phone calls during the evening, though. Thanks for remembering her, guys! My kids live for getting together with our extended family, and I love it.
Happy birthday to my loveliest girl!!! I love you so much! The older you get, the more I love that I have a cute little fashionista girlfriend to spend all day with. Here are a few of my favorite pictures of my girl.
