Our little girl turned 3 years old on Sunday. It was a bit strange thinking a short 3 years ago we were walking around wondering if we were having another boy...or if some strange fluke of nature would occur and Mark would actually have a daughter. So when the doctor tells us "It's a girl!" Mark naturally had to have this repeated several times between his laughter and tears in order to really believe that PINK was going to be a solid part of our future for years to come. And so it has. Although I've had lots of fun buying cute orange dresses, blue shoes, purple coats etc.; starting from our first week home when Mark and Adam entered the door with 3 enormous Carter's bags full of a sea of pink baby items, Lucy's wardrobe and favorite color has remained pink. So when it came time to plan a little party, she very definitely wanted this as a theme. I asked "Lucy, would you like cake or cupcakes?" I want pink cupcakes Mama! "ok! what kind do you want?" The yummy kind! So I set out to make pink, yummy cupcakes...
We decided to have a pajama party for 3 reasons. 1. It's super comfy. 2. It's Sunday night and the next day is a school day...party over-straight to bed. 3. It's just really fun to hang out in your pjs! She started the day by opening presents from her brother and Mom and Dad. Adam gave her a baby doll she had played with at the store. She loves him!
In the afternoon our family came over for pajama party food and fun! She really enjoyed having everyone there to share the day with her, she remembered to say thank you for each of her perfect gifts (lots of pink!) and she even blew out all her candles. It was a great day, and we are so blessed that God gave her to us to learn from and raise up. Thank you for each of our blessings! It was a very happy 3rd birthday!
