Celebrate: Critterbug Turns 3!

Dakota You are a priceless gem.  You make our faces smile and our hearts beam.  You are a burst of energy, fun and sunshine.  You are a helper and a servant.  You are kind and compassionate.  You have a desire to learn and have your daddy's love of books.  You amaze us with your thoughts and insights.  You are tough yet gentle.  You are already questioning who Jesus is and that makes us thankful.  You love fruit snacks and gummy bears.  Your name means "Friend" and you are such a good one.  Thank you for the past 3 amazing years.  Thank you for teaching mommy and daddy to love in a new way.  Thank you for making us laugh so much and thank you for bringing tears of joy to our eyes so many times.  We love you.  We love you.  We love you. 
HAPPY 3rd Birthday!!

French toast with whipped cream and sprinkles!

We are so thankful that family could come in town to celebrate our little girl's 3rd birthday.  Now that we have more space we were able to have everybody spend the night with us in the house and it was so fun.  I so appreciate all of the help that was given to pulling off a fun "BUG BASH" and Dakota does too.  We went with a bug theme this year and it was really fun.  I don't know that I've ever seen a little girl more excited than when Dakota woke up from her nap and said, "Is it time for my birthday party now?" and we could finally say, "YES!"  She had been waiting for months for her celebration and we are so glad she had such a fun time with her friends.  The day ended with her coming up to me and hugging me and saying, "Thank you for my birthday party Mommy...Goodnight."  I love her thankful spirit.  She teaches me daily.
