Princess Pricey turns 3!

What a day! What a year! What a blessing this sweet child has been! Before she was born, I called Price our bonus kid....our "extra" dose of love. What an "extra" she has been to our family! She has added so much silliness, so much spunk, so much precious love, and so much prissiness to our world. She smiles all the time, gives attitude to everyone, and is Miss Independent in every way. I love her sweetness- that she loves someone with her entire heart. And I love her brutal honesty....if she doesn't want to play with you, she will flat out tell you NO.  And I LOVE how she loves her brother and sister. Today we dropped James and Grafton off at school and were headed back home when she said, "Mommy, I sure do miss my brother and my sister..." That makes my heart so full.

So- a review of her year- what a big year it has been! She got to go to Disney World!!!! She met every princess that she adores, Minnie Mouse, Princess Sophia, and all the clubhouse characters. She had a BLAST and talks about it so much. She also got to go to the beach a couple of times, and she has a sudden love for the sand, looking for shells, and floating in the ocean. She finally got her first ride on jeep....and she is a maniac on that thing!!! She turns the radio on and takes off....so get out of her way!  She had her first slumber party at DeeDee's house, and she begs to do it again and again. She ditched her crib, ditched her diapers, and ditched her high chair. She is a big girl. She loves lipstick, fingernail polish, and hair bows. She puts on a crown when she wakes up in the morning and would dress up like a princess every day if I would let her. She is an absolute one-of-a-kind. Whoever doesn't know her is truly missing out!

Here is a recap of her birthday! We would celebrate her everyday if we could....she is so so loved.

Her last pictures as a TWO year old. Oh how I will miss this age. The 2s are my absolutely favorite age...part baby, part toddler, part big girl. A perfect mix.

 Chocolate sprinkle donut for breakfast! Thanks to Daddy, she had fresh donuts for her birthday breakfast!

 DeeDee spoiled her rotten today! They played legos, went strolling (not to be confused with a stroller ride....strolling means that Price was pushing her own small stroller with a baby doll), read books, then opened presents from DeeDee. She got lots of DeeDee time this morning!

 Tonight we celebrated with DeeDee, Pop, GG, and the family at Ajax. Price wanted chips and dip, and Mac n' cheese for her birthday dinner. They don't call her my mini-me for nothing!!!

 She loves him!

 Silly faces with Pop and GG!

 All my sweet loves

 Present time!!!!

 DeeDee gave Price a precious, super soft, stuffed lamb when she was a baby. Price has LOVED this lamb (aka Lamby) her entire life. She sleeps with Lamby every nap and night, and she rubs its tag until the hair is gone. I have searched and searched for another one, "just in case" something ever happens to this precious lovey. The closest I have found is this smaller version...so I bought it! I knew she would love it. I knew she would call it "Baby Lamby." I knew it would be special to her. And it did not disappoint! Lamby, Baby Lamby, and Price went to bed happy tonight.

 A new Princess Anna gown....the girl loves to dress up!

 Ending the night with candles. Every birthday, we wake up to candles and go to bed to candles. It's tradition....it's special....it's how it should be.

It was a really good day.
