d day - part 3

our day was full of friends and fun! after our playgroup friends left, shelly came back to pick up rosie. then laura and joseph came over to bring delaney her special handmade gift. and 3-year-olds opening presents is pretty much one of the cutest things ever. also, addie and frankie got dressed in their party dresses all by themselves for laney's special day. :)

she's a very careful opener. you'd swear she was born during the depression for how carefully she opened her gifts, careful not to tear the paper.

laura made these cute shawls for each of the little girls. laney mr. hyde'd right after she opened her gift and wouldn't try hers on, but big sister was a more obliging model.

so was other big sister. and a certain 3-year-old can barely be seen pouting behind frankies right shoulder. too funny!

finally, she dr. jekyll'd it up and put on her shawl. aaaand posed veeery nicely.

she's so natural. ;)

i am in loooooove!

her birthday request was dinner at mcdonalds. oh yes, only the very best for us! we had invited aina's to come with us, then when laura and joseph came by, joseph decided they needed to come too. then brenna decided to tag along and it was officially a par-tay! sadly there wasn't room at our table so these two had to sit elsewhere. they were all torn up about it, can't ya tell?

we were there for over 2 hours and everyone had fun. we haven't been there to play in a long time and the girls loved it.

when i went to the bathroom i got a new screen saver. this replaced my old screen saver these gals gave me on my birthday.

hahahahaha!

that right thar is a happy birthday girl. and that makes me a happy birth day mom.
