3

Her big day finally arrived.  She no longer considers herself a baby; she's a big girl who is gaining her independence all too quickly. 

 

 

Cecilia turned 3 yesterday and we made sure she felt special on her day.

 

There was a 'Happy Birthday' sign around every corner and our table centerpiece was just for her.

 

She woke up to balloons all over floor.

 

 

 

She thought it was the greatest thing in the world.

 

Her teachers followed suit and showered her with lots of birthday wishes, cards and candy.  I sent birthday treats for her whole class to enjoy.

 

Throughout the day, my cell phone was buzzing with birthday wishes for her (thank you all for doing that!  So sweet that you thought of our little one!).

 

And sticking with tradition, a voicemail with my mom's remix of the Happy Birthday song.

 

It was thoroughly enjoyed.

 

Cecilia also received an animated e-card that she thought was the best thing ever!  Thanks Steve and Polly!

 

And nothing says Happy Birthday like getting a video from your cousin singing Happy Birthday to you.

 

Presents were opened when Brent got home and our living room was covered with new toys and tissue paper.

 

The night ended, like all good birthdays, with cake.

 

 

 

 

She was exhausted by the end of the night which can only mean she had a really good birthday.
