Happy 3rd Birthday Natalie!

This was from a couple of days ago at Lisa’s.  I love the princess tutu and the pink guitar.  Rocker chick!

This the the headband Natalie got at school on Tuesday!

This is how Natalie shows she’s three.  (She’s also okay, by the way.)  :)

I love these little pants with the gather at the bottom.  She just looks so precious, I think!

This was outside Grandma’s on the way in to enchilada night.

Last night I cut out a bunch of 3s from construction paper to go on the birthday tree!

This morning I attempted to get a picture of the birthday girl and her tree.

It is much easier to take a picture of a tree than a three year old.  :)

She got some new dresses from Gran (in a size FOUR!).  She posed a little for me.

But then she saw Mamma pulling up in the driveway!

A little twirl…

Mamma brought over a present.  While she was carrying it, Natalie said, “It’s beautiful!”  That’s a girl who appreciates a good wrapping job!

Natalie really got into the birthday thing and loved it this year.  She literally glowed being the center of attention.  So sweet!

Not to remain the background for long…

She got two crafty books!!  She LOVES painting and coloring, and these will mean many hours of fun for her (and sister too)!

I am just so thankful to God for my precious Natalie, who made my life more wonderful at about 11:35am three years ago.  She is the most amazing little creature, and I ache with love for her.  Happy Birthday sweet girl!
