We should go ahead and call this the Alessandra post, because daddy Brad documented every moment of this little peanut's 3rd birthday. :)
We started out the day before (the whole family) and headed to Cocoks and had pedicures. (Note: Brad and I actually had pedicures, the girls had "nail art")
Little Miss's with pampering... loved it.
Those ladies with their tiny little paintbrushes amaze me every time. Olivia chose some cats and Alessandra chose Elmo - (None of my photos came out that well, but I will keep trying).
Having fun.
Brad enjoying some R&R
The actual day of her birthday was pretty low key. We waited until the afternoon to do some present opening. She enjoyed every moment: some of the highlights (and there were a lot of them)
A new panda from Connor (amazingly we lost Lamby that night, and she slept with Panda for 3 nights until we re-found Lamby)
A really great turtle that daddy got her in Iraq.
Alessandra's new favorite movie Wall-E. We had rented it from Netflix and she kept asking for it. She was very happy about this.
A new Barbie from Nana and Poppi
Some great Stamps from Gram (we love the stamps)
A lovely new dress from Granny and Grandfather ("so pretty" she stated)
Our cheeselicious birthday girl in her glory (and note: Susu and Grandpa gave her the fancy dress this summer and she has been WAITING to wear it. She was SO happy she finally got to wear it)
Working on some stamps waiting for Cooper and Caden to come over
Birthday Sunset...
The intensity of fire at the table.
She blew out the candles and then decided that the most important part was licking the candles...
And eating cake... who doesn't love cake?
Happy Birthday sweet girl.
