Strawberry Party

Graci Is THREE!!!

She wanted a strawberry party, but supplies were hard to find in that theme.  So, we went with strawberry colors and I found a super cute strawberry sundress for her and she was happy as could be!  The crowd was small, but the celebrations BIG!

Parachute Fun!

Best "Birthday Sisters"

Cannot believe our "baby" is three!
Your laughter and joy bring us sunshine!  Your LOUD voice commands us to know your presence.  Your wild imagination takes us into worlds we'd never explore on our own!  Your opinions let us know EXACTLY where you stand!  Your loving spirt and compassion drive us to better ourselves.  We love you dearly and give thanks for the gift you are to our family!

Happy Day!

 Thankful for another year to celebrate with my favorites!

They cooked a dinner, set the table so cute and CoCo very meticulously decorated my birthday cake!  Wonderful Day!

Pony Rides!

First Flight!

First time flying kites for CC, G and ME!

A little side entertainment of bubbles never hurts!

G also had a first flight but I don't have documentation.  However, the below photo was her exact facial expression of disbelief when the kite took flight!  She also lost hold of the handle and the kite chase was on!  I don't know who laughed more G or me?

Since first flights, CC gives us a daily report on wind!

Thank You!

Before I get too terribly behind in blogging (yep, officially a month behind)... sending love out to my mom and sister who helped tons with CC's party!  Thank you!

Note the ladybug on CC's sleeve.  Fun photo shoot morning!

Legoland

Favorite activity of the day was our girls first roller coaster ride (we fluffed G's hair high and swapped her shoes with CC's thicker ones so that she'd be tall enough to ride).  Grandpa, Uncle John and Meghan joined us and we squealed the first time round and raised our hands to the sky on the second loop!  We also ate Pringles while waiting in line... a big junk food treat in our family!  :)

Sea World CA!

A day at Sea World with the cousins! FUN!

Shark Encounter!

Everyone making their scariest Shark Jaw face with claws?!

CoCo, how's it possible that you're 5?

We love your creative creations, your joy of learning and knowledge, your adventurous spirit that will jump into a new activity, your dreams of being a zoo keeper or a veterinarian, your eye for beautiful things, and your thoughtfulness you show towards others.  We are so very blessed to call your ours!
