Lorelei's 3rd Birthday

We were reminded how much this girls is blessed by amazing and loving family and friends.

THE BIKE: The plan was to have Lorelei find a brand new bike was soon as she woke up...just like last year only a WAY bigger bike. :) Anyway, Brad worked for hours trying to get it put together but we were just one simple pedal short of having a bike for her in the morning...and it would not go in for anything. We finally gave up at 2 am or so, and then resolved to just exchange it in the morning. Thankfully we had a couple other gifts for Lorelei to get in the morning. :) Brad put the new bike together over his lunch (worked from home for our special day) so she was excited to try it out right away.


Clockwise from left: Excited to be opening presents, using her new vet kit on her new Cleo, loving the requested tassels on her new bike (we are still getting the hang of it. Very rusty as have not ridden in a long time, not to mention the bigger bike factor!) , Mickey Mouse pancakes, getting sung to by Grandma, Hannah and Karter (Nana sung later that afternoon too, lucky girl!), and finally licking her chocolate from the cake I was baking for her party the next day. One picture I didn't get was that she got some great time to herself that night since Makin went to bed early. It was great having that extra time with her!

As you can see this girl was all smiles from being shown so much love on her special day. Thank so much to all of you who I know were thinking of her and showing her how much you love her. We are so blessed by her and you!

Something about turning three...the last few weeks Lorelei definitely seems older. I am both in shock and happy and sad at the same time...so getting a little nostalgic and had to take this picture Friday night of the three of us. The top is the first-ever picture of us together and then one 3 years later. :) How time flies!

P.S. Will do the three year update soon...when my brain can think!
