3 going on 13-Happy Birthday Princess

Breakfast was blueberry waffles. Love Marlee’s fake pouty face.

182 183

Marlee is often found wearing this bathing suit around the house; it’s funny how girls love dress-up.

Marlee is “helping” Laun feed the chickens.

I like to take pictures of her on her birthday

197 199

She took pictures of me too:

Love this girl from head to toe.

Our kiddos love the tradition of going to lunch with their Daddy.

Then I took her for ice cream…

She likes licking all the frosting off the beaters.

Birthday dinner menu:

241

Ideal 3 year old meal: no utensils & lots of sauces & dips.

233

237

Marlee was happy to have Jonathan & Darlene & the Frost Grandparents over.

240

This girl is so grateful when she opens presents. She says thank you & gets so happy.

242

She loved this little set of buildings & people. I got it from our friend Rachel Allen since her girls have out grown it.

248 247

She got books from Porter & her Turley Grandparents.

251 254

Clayton got her real pearl earrings. He picked them out himself & he was so excited to give them to her. I have a feeling he will have one spoiled wife someday.

255

The Frosts Grandparents got her a goody bag full of all sorts of fun things.

258

The licorice rope was a huge hit.

260

Whenever I asked Marlee what she wanted for her birthday she always said a pink cake. I would ask her what she wanted for her birthday dinner or what present she wanted and all she would ever say was pink cake. She finally got her pink cake & I don’t think she even had one bite because she was so excited to play with her birthday presents instead!

277

Clayton & Porter were happy to light the birthday candles & I was happy to use one of my new cake platters from my mom.

283

Marlee was happy to have everyone sing her Happy Birthday & apparently so was Porter.

284

She had no problem blowing out the birthday candles.

Enjoying her birthday presents…

Pop rocks candy & flarp (slippery pink glob) were among her favorites.
