Is she really THREE?

Julia,

One of the best days of my life was the day you were born.

The most amazing thing about being a mother is that each time you have a child, the minute you see that perfect baby, you can feel your heart grow. The love I feel for you is indescribable. I am so blessed to have you as a daughter.

All my love,

Mom

Seeing Zeb's face each time one of our daughters was born was priceless and the most beautiful thing. He loves his girls. The time we spent in the hospital, with just Julia, was precious.

This is Julia on her first birthday. I can't believe do much time has gone by. Julia has been such a happy baby and brings so much laughter and joy to anyone around her.

Second birthday and lots of energy. She got into her cupcakes and started eating them after sliding a stool over to where there were...up HIGH! :)

Is she really three now? My favorite thing is to tickle her. She laughs hysterically over and over and it is one sound I will never tire of.

For the first time in months Julia changed out of her PJ's and was excited to wear her party outfit. I love the personality that comes out when she loves what she's wearing. She even wore it to the gym WITH a microphone in hand.

Here is her royal treatment, breakfast in bed!

I love this girl. More than words can say. I love her intense personality and spit fire comments. She keeps us laughing ALL the time. She'll answer the door in her underwear, tell you she wants "spider web booty (instead of pirates booty), say, "what's up dudamous?" and tell you most things with lots of attitude. But what she has in attitude she makes up for in sweetness. She tells you you're her fwavorite, she'll put herself in her room for time out, and she is an amazing sleeper. Julia May you are so sweet and funny and we just adore you!

Love this banner Angie made. She is sooooo talented in photoshop. Love you, sis.

Here are all the friends that helped us celebrate. Thanks, friends!

Enjoying Mickey chicken nuggets and cheese.

They each did an easter egg hunt and had lots of fun finding the eggs! Her friend Baylee had personalized M & M's with her picture on them that her Grandpa had given her. Tasha gave Julia some to eat. After the party as Julia was eating the candy with Baylee's cute little face she said, "Look, Baylee was born on an M & M!" Soooo funny!

She is such a good cheezer!!!

Giving M a kiss goodbye. These two are hilarious!!!!

The party decor:

This cake was made with lots of love by not only me but Zeb too. My hands were pink from the dye on the frosting from cupcakes so I couldn't touch the white fondant. Zeb kneaded it, rolled it and shaped it PERFECTLY around the cake. He did so well he did the top layer too and went to work with hot pink hands. What daddy won't do for his daughters.

I made this topiary for the occasion. I L.O.V.E. throwing parties.
Happy Birthday our sweet Julia. We love you!!!!
