Happy 3rd Birthday, Kayla!

Our little "princess" turned three today, but we celebrated on Sunday. She was SOOO excited about her birthday . . . a nap on Sunday afternoon just didn't seem necessary :). Kayla has been REALLY into the princess thing, and I think it's safe to say that her birthday definitely had a "royal" feel to it! I saw a "princess castle cake" online so I decided to give it a try -- I think the kids just liked the candy pieces on it!

Posing with the gifts. Joshua offered NUMEROUS times to help Kayla with opening her gifts -- and she seemed to think she could take care of it herself! Needless to say, he is VERY excited about his own b-day coming up!


Aunt Bem got her FOUR pairs of princess shoes and a princess "beauty kit" -- complete with a working hair dryer!


These would be the light up princess tennis shoes from G/G Nelson . . she's been stomping CONSTANTLY around the house!

A NEW princess dress from G/G Varner -- so, so, so exciting!


You can't really see it, but she is so proud of this ring . . . we have lost it in the couch cushions, in the van, in the backpack . . .


Posing with the loot . . .


Kayla came down the stairs Monday morning with her princess dress on, backpack on (which was fully loaded) and her princess sticker book! Yep, we're lovin' the princess thing!

She was highly confused today when I told her TODAY was actually her birthday . . . should have just let it go! Kayla, we love you and are so thankful for the three years we have had with you!
