3 years!!!




Maria turned 3 years old on the 12th.
I really wanted to make is a special day for Maria, especially because it would be her last brithday as an only child. When Ben and I had asked her what she wanted to do on her birthday, she told us she wanted Pizza and to go to the Carousel...so we tried to work that into the day.
Blueberry Waffles, talking to family on the phone, going to 'Mommy's Gym' and getting sung "Happy Birthday" to, visiting the Salem Carousel and then the A.C. Gilbert House, getting to see her best buddy Tessa, and finally back home for a birthday pizza dinner date with Mom and Dad.
Maria was one happy girl on her special day.
I was so happy to have her to spend the day with.

Happy Birthday to sweet Maria! She is so much fun! I loved your family pictures! That post made me cry! I remember feeling that way with Macy! I remember holding her the night before the twins were born, sobbing my eyes out knowing that it was never going to be just me and her! Those first few years with your first are precious! You'll always have that special bond. Good luck this week! We are cheering for you!
