THREE.

Still in disbelief, 24 hours later.

But alas, this girl is three.


She had a great day, and the weather cooperated and we got to play outside! Add a little "face time" in there with Uncle Jarrett, Aunt Emily, and Olive, and you've pretty much got a great day!

Grandparents and cousins are coming over on Sunday to celebrate, but we gave ZuZu her presents yesterday. And I will say, she asserts herself like a three-year-old. Especially when telling her brother "NO." I think she took "birthday princess" a little to the extreme, and that's going to come back to haunt her come April when we don't make Moses share any of his new toys.

But then again, it was a long and eventful day, and things didn't flow like normal. It was 9:30 last night before she was settled down enough to be able to fall asleep.  And who could be frustrated with this little cutie?! I think these pictures scream, "I am three and am as cute as can be!"






And this one screams, "I am almost 18 months and about as ornery as they come."


And this one (from earlier in the day) screams, "I am almost six, and I. AM. AWESOME."


Hosanna SO BADLY wanted ZuZu's new LaLaLoopsy doll...


One of my favorite pictures from last night: ZuZu playing with her "Calico Critters" house. Brought back memories of my own dollhouses and calico critters and playing at the dining room table after my birthday parties!


Hoping to install all those "birthday memories" that I had growing up! Birthdays are special, and you ARE the princess of your day. So I guess maybe ZuZu *might* have been a result of my own creation yesterday...  and I'm sure the extreme sugar content in the pink lemonade cupcakes might not have helped matters....
