Happy Birthday sweet girl

Our darling Gabriella turned three years old last week and we sure have enjoyed celebrating her! We had a special day with just our family on her actual birthday... Matt, Oliver and I walked into her room at 6:30 in the morning all wearing funny hats and singing "Happy Birthday" to her. We also made a trip to get some Sprinkles cupcakes with Granna... always a big hit! She was o-so-excited about getting presents this year. She's at the age where she knows what goes down when it's your birthday! She was also very excited for her "Arts & Crafts" birthday party that we had on Saturday. Fun times!

We were privileged to have some of my family from out of town come up and stay with us for the weekend too! So that made our celebration even more special.

We finished off the weekend with our 3rd annual Gabriella's-birthday-weekend-visit-to-the-State-Fair-with-my-family. And here's Big Tex to prove it...

Gabriella - we love you, your adorable personality, your fun-loving nature, and your caring spirit. We are so blessed to have you in our family and can't wait to watch you grow and become the woman God created you to be.
