My baby isn’t a baby anymore! Elena turned three today. She woke up bright and early and wanted to take a shower. Since she still had sand in her hair from playing with Joe yesterday, I let her have one. Once she was all fresh, she got to put on her “princess” dress. Our plans got kinda mixed around so we ended up having lunch at the McDonald’s playplace with Aunt Elise, Charley and Carter. Josh even stopped by for a bit just in time to watch Elena open some presents. 
After lunch we went back home and spent what will be the last day in our current pool. It has seen its last pool party. After swimming, Elena wanted her dress back on right away. 
Probably because Charley had to put hers back on. Although their hair was a mess by this point, here are the two little princesses in their dresses: 
After Charley’s family left, Elena fell asleep on the floor for several hours! She woke up around 7pm, just in time to open the rest of her presents and have some mac-n-cheese and birthday cupcakes. Josh let ELISE light the match! 
Happy Birthday Elena!!! Sorry I didn’t get to call yet, I didn’t get out of class until you were in BED! See you all soon!!!
Happy Birthday Elena! Time is sure flying by. It is hard to believe that she is three already. Wow!
Oh my goodness. I just can’t believe its been three years. I remember you looking for baby clothes on e-bay, while I was lamenting about my wedding woes, before she was born! Then I remember the conversation about letting her sleep in a laundry basket shortly after she was born…do kids really grow that fast? Ack! Happy Birthday, Elena!
