The Third Celebration for Miss Three Year Old

It is July 2013 and I just realized these were still in my draft folder.  I've thought when I lost pictures before in my draft it was pitiful.  But losing them for a year is pretty worthless.  I have got to slow down and make time to blog.  I am inserting these back in November 2012, so they flow.

 

For her third birthday celebration on her third birthday, we headed to Alabama.  The theme, PURPLE!  Red got her first American Girl doll, a little red headed cutie, we named Sara Beth. 

 

 

How big does she look here?  Oh my word.

 

Her and her Bell Bell.

My Second Celebration

The birthday girl.  That smile, it gets her in and out of trouble.  How do you celebrate a firecracker, you surprise her.  The morning of her birthday we let her open her presents (forgive the foggy pictures, the camera was in the car and it was cold).  She had one request for a present, she wanted a Tinkerbell.  Are you seeing a theme here?  Then that afternoon, we told her if she took a nap she would get a surprise when we went out to eat.....we surprised her with her people....her HOLT people.  She squealed such happy little squeals when she saw them, it was priceless.  Lou Lou's birthday was the week before, so we made it a double celebration.

 

It's MY BIRTHDAY!  WHOOT WHOOT!!!!

The first Celebration

LOVE ME some red head.  The Wednesday before her actual birthday, we took breakfast and an afternoon snack of purple cupcakes to school for her to celebrate her special day.  She was so proud to take a snack, have everyone sing to her and wish her blessings.  The teachers went around the room and had each of the kids wish a blessing on her.  It was so sweet a couple of the older kids really got it, one wished health on her and another wished her a happy day.

 

 

Rock IT, Pose IT

Someone had a cheer performance and she rocked it.  Always the poser, the uniform amps it up a notch or two.

 

 

Clash of the DIVAS

I snapped a couple of pictures of the girls the other Sunday before Church.  Their outfits clash about like their personalities do these days.  They know how to push each other's buttons and they do it regularly, much to the dismay of their parents.
