She's 3!

My sweet little Lainey bug turned 3 last week! It's crazy to think how quickly time passes! She is still tiny as ever, but as we all know, great things come in tiny packages! She is so smart, just like her big sister. As busy as she is, she is quite observant and I love to hear the things she picks up on! She has the most infectious laugh and I love that she can find just about anything funny! She can always put a smile on your face, no matter your mood! She is into everything girly and that involves a lot of lip gloss and shoes these days! She has this sweet little voice and I love to hear her sing, which she does often! Madelaine has been attending preschool this year, and it has been so fun to see her grow and develop and learn new things! She has come such a long way in just the few months she has been attending. She loves all of her new friends and talks about them often! She loves her sister and brother so much and it is a lot of fun to watch her interact with them. She wants to be just like Leecy T! We love her so much and are so very grateful to have her in our little family! She always makes our hearts smile! :)

We celebrated her birthday by doing all kinds of fun things and it was definitely a jam packed day! We were lucky enough to have Granny and Grampy here for her birthday--they haven't missed a grandkids birthday yet--how cool is that?! We went to eat lunch with Aleece at school, we went to the carousel, we opened presents, had cake and went to Chucke Cheese!

Mommy and her sweet little Lainey bug!

Always happy!

What a sweet face!

She had a Mad Hatter Tea Party for her birthday party (pics to follow soon!) and this was her Cheshire Cat poster I made.

By her many presents.

All dolled up! Probably one of my favorite pics of her!

After opening her present from Leecy, getting a big hug! Leecy T, with help from her Granny, picked out a very special present for her sister! It was so sweet!

Another big hug! I love these moments!

A big thank you to everyone for making her 3rd birthday such a special one! Thank you for all of the gifts and the phone calls! And a huge thank you to Granny and Grampy for all they did to make her day so amazing! I know she won't soon forget! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I can't believe my baby girl is 3! I am excited to see how she will grow and develop over the next year! We love you so much Madelaine! Happy 3rd birthday sweetheart!
