Sara turns THREE!

Sara's third birthday was on September 29. I KNOW -- that was almost a month ago! But I'm trying my best to get back in the swing of things. It will just take a minute. :)

On her actual birth day, we celebrated with just Michael, June, Sara & myself. Michael got her cupcakes, and she opened a couple gifts. We went for supper at TGI Friday's beforehand -- and it was pretty good!

Then that weekend, we had a party in my hometown with my extended family. I had great big plans to make princess cupcakes, but ran out of time (and energy, due to a baby who was awake most of the night before!) so I picked up a simple sheet cake from Wal-Mart and had my aunt write Happy Birthday on it.

We tried to keep it simple this year, and invited just the family members with small children....but we still ended up with a good number! I am sooo thankful each & every day to live near family that we're able to see often.

We had a princess theme this year....definitely well received from all the little girls! Sara asks us about 4 times a day, "Is my birthday coming up?" She already can't wait for next year!

Sara, I am so happy God chose me to be your mama. We love you so much!
