She's 3....

Well Brielle turned 3 today, and she has been so excited as you can see...

We had a visit from my mom so she was able to give Brielle her birthday present from her and papa, needless to say the present was a big hit with both the girls and I think secretly the boys wanted to get into the action.

Dora anything is a big hit in our house right now and Dora dress-up clothes are a ton of fun!  The kit came with little plastic high heels and Ruthie did not want to take them off, even though Brielle tried talking her into giving them up. ;)

We had a small family party for Brielle after supper. We had Brielle sit on the couch and cover her eyes because her first present was too big to wrap.

 She really liked her Princess Castle kitchen, and of course so did Ruthie.

 We also got Brielle a princess scooter, but Ruthie kind of took that over too, so pictures of that will come later.


I usually decorate the cakes but Micah asked if he could decorated this one.  I was very tired so I obliged. the result was not too bad...

The following was of yesterday when Ruth was helping me bake the cake.  She is very fond of the cake batter and also really like powdered sugar, yum!

Dear Brielle,
Mommy and Daddy cannot believe you are 3!  What an amazing girl you are!  You loved to make us laugh and you are always saying: "Mommy watch this!".  You love to talk and ask questions.  When we are in the car you cheer if I roll the window down for you.  You call slivers, "sliberts", spiders, "piders", toilet paper, "paper toilet", swimming suit, "swimming soups", and airplanes, "highplanes". 
Our prayer for you is that you continue to blossom in your friendly outgoing ways (like waving to people in the grocery store) and that your bravery would take you far.  We pray for your compassion to deepen and wisdom grow.  We ask God to give you such a desire to make Christ lord over your life that when people would see you they would know there was something different about you and you would be able to show them who your Creator and Savior is.
We are so thankful for you and your sweetness!  We love you so much Tulha!
Mommy and Daddy
