Happy Birthday, Emily!

My baby turned three.  Where has all the time gone?  Her birthday brings back so many memories of uncertain NICU days three years ago.  We are so thankful for her health and development.  I love this little girl so much.  She is sweet and polite and a joy to have around. 

We started her birthday with a “pancake party” on Saturday morning.  She had been talking about this for weeks, telling everyone “I’m having a pancake party!”  When a grocery store clerk asked her what she wanted for her birthday, she replied, “A pancake!”  At bedtime that night she said “I LOVE my pancake party!”  What a dear.















Then it was time for the pancakes!  And lots of toppings!  Yum!



A few gifts for the birthday girl.













We followed up the pancake party with a trip to Taltree Arboretum where the kids like to spend time in the railway garden.

And putting on a little “show.”





And tailgating for a snack.  What a fun morning!  Happy Birthday, Emily!



Here’s a link to a video I made two years ago of Emily’s first year.  So many memories…
