Ella had a great birthday celebration with mama and daddy. She's been anticipating turning 3 for a long time, so it's good (for her) to finally reach her goal. Her birthday started out in typical three-year-old fashion...she didn't want to get up, didn't want to get dressed, didn't want to brush her teeth etc., but when I reminded her about the cookies she would be taking to school for her birthday, she suddenly decided to cooperate. Funny what a little sugar will do, isn't it. She had a great day at school and showed everyone who came into the room her "I'm 3!" shirt. Age is a funny thing, huh? We go from wanting to wear it on our shirts to wanting to hide it from everyone!! Anyway, we went out to dinner for her birthday, and she got to FINALLY eat the birthday cake that she has coveted for the last 4 months from Publix. Be sure to see the picture below (the one with the eyes closed while having the first taste of cake).
I must admit that my eyes closed when I tasted that yummy cake, too!! All in all, it was a wonderfully exciting time. Watching your children grow is one of God's amazing gifts, but we are learning that it goes by much too quickly. Hug your little ones and big ones, too, extra hard today because life slips by so quickly. We have been so blessed with Ella and are so thankful for the joy that she gives us each day.
