Well, here she is. The most loving, sweet, and cutest three-year-old girl we've ever known, Miss Lucy Irene, at three years old. It was a fabulous celebration with family and friends and we think Lucy really enjoyed herself.
Lucy now weighs in at 28 pounds and is 35 1/4 inches tall. She's inherited the vertically challenged gene from her mama!
Lucy actually remembered her birthday cake from last year so she requested another cake with pussy willows this year! I of course obliged. Three little woodland animal candles danced in a circle in the middle of the pussy willow forest and Lucy blew all candles out on her third try.
Homemade chocolate angel food cake and homemade custard gelato are the perfect excuse to lick your plate and be messy!
Lucy, as usual, was very orderly about unwrapping her presents. We had to remind her their were several more presents to open as she kept being so enamored with each and every one.
Lucy's first gift was an activity book with new crayons. She sat down and started coloring immediately. Too cute. We had to encourage her to wait until later to color so she could open more gifts. |
But then the vacuum from Uncle Chris appeared and all attention remained on that for the remainder of the entire weekend! Look how pleased she is here to see her very own vacuum. |
She got overheated and had to take her tights and leg warmers off. Vacuuming is quite the aerobic activity. |
Uncle Chris almost passing out from blowing up so many balloons. |
