Lucy turns 3...happily! June 26th 2010

Question: Who wakes up very early in the morning on her birthday and is extremely smiley ALL day long?

Answer: Lucy!

Loving her birthday and sharing gifts with Sophie and Riley. They all got a headlamp for camping. (maybe not such a grand idea)But they LOVED them and still use them around the house...I just wish they'd turn them off once in a while, or at least not look directly at me when they're talking to me with their lamps on!

Uncle Brad was visiting us from Vermont...a special treat for Lucy! We celebrated at Texas Road House for dinner. (Lucy loves the peanuts!)

At home for cake and ice cream. Lucy requested a "pink beanbag cake"...where she got that idea, I'll never know! So, we creatively obliged. Lucky and comfy George!

Happy Birthday, Lucy. You are our sunshine and we love you!

Ballet Recital

Sophie and Lucy were both included in their ballet recital this summer. It was fun to see them both be excited about dancing and not even be nervous about performing!

The costumes were amazing ( not homemade! ) and both girls absolutely LOVED getting ready for the performances with real make-up!

Here's Lucy waiting for her turn to go on stage. She danced with her class to the song "You Are My Sunshine".

Lucy taking a chance to be in the limelight! (during dress-rehearsal, she ran up on stage and twirled for us...all her own idea! Glad I snapped this picture when I did before she ran back to her seat!)

Sophie was part of the ballet, "Alice in Wonderland." She had the glorious role of one of the playing cards in the Queen of Hearts' Court. Well done, Sophie!

Posing for a picture while waiting to lead her fellow "cards" to their positions.

Inbetween the early and the later performances we went with some of Sophie's friends to get a bite to eat. Quite little ladies, they all were!

Sophie still likes dancing, so we'll see how this next year goes.
