Happy 3rd Birthday Princess Sophie



















We've been partying so much this past week we have barely had a moment to even think about posting! Sophie's third birthday celebration began last weekend when we had a visit with Jim's cousins and Aunt and Uncle and Aunt Ann was so sweet to bake a cake for Sophie so she had her first official birthday singing and cake last Sunday! Then, mid-week we got to bake cupcakes for all her classmates at her school. They all sang to her and she got to wear a special crown for the day. We made Ariel cupcakes and of course, Sophie helped and thoroughly enjoyed herself licking the batter afterwards! Then on Saturday we had *quite* the birthday celebration starting with a breakfast of sausage and monkey bread, opening some presents from Mommy and Daddy and some quality time playing and then off to the toy store to pick out a few "special" presents for our big three year old girl. Then, Sophie got treated to her first trip to "the Shalon" (what Sophie calls a "salon" for some reason) where she had a mini-manicure and a makeup application. (She was supposed to have gotten a mini-pedicure too but sadly had dropped some really heavy binoculars on her big toe earlier in the day and so we bagged the pedi for the day in favor of some purple eye shadow and sparky lip gloss.) She was in pure heaven! She just thought it was the coolest thing and loved all her special "treatments" and loved being around all the glam and the other little girls getting their "sweet and sassy" spa treatments, too. Then we got to meet up with some surprise guests - Aunt Pat and Caely - for a special birthday dinner!! We had a great meal (spaghetti and meatballs for Sophie or course) and OF COURSE there was more cake and signing. Then today was Sophie's birthday party at a wonderful place called Romp n' Roll. It was a humongous success and there was much romping and rolling (and jumping and snowball fighting and princess freeze dancing and moon bouncing and so much more). What a great birthday week and weekend I think she has had!!

As for the sappy stuff, I was a blubbering mess putting sweet Sophie to bed for the last night of her life as a two year old. And, I cried yesterday and today. These three years have gone so fast. How can she be three already? It just boggles my mind. And yet she is. A big girl - already three. Getting spa treatments and telling jokes and talking about her wedding to her BFF Nevyn... Lord help us... But that's another post altogether.

I love you sweetest Sophie girl. You are our everything... I'm proud of the sweet and funny and smart and spirited and independent 3 year old you are! And Daddy and I love you more than you will ever know. xoxoxo

Thank you for posting so many nice photos. It IS hard to believe Sophie is already three. She gets prettier with each passing day!
