Happy Birthday, Julia!

Happy third birthday, Julia! We started the day out with candles in her sweet roll for breakfast while sissy and I sang her Happy Birthday.

Then we got dressed and headed to school!

After Charlotte and I dropped Julia off at school we headed to Wal-Mart to get cupcakes for Julia's class. Charlotte go to ride in the front of the buggy all by herself like a big girl!

When Charlotte and I left Wal-Mart we went home so I could address Julia's invitations for her classmates while Charlotte fought her nap.

She's not actually asleep in this picture!

At 10:00 we went up to Julia's school to take her cupcakes to her class. I dropped Charlotte off in Tracy's office so that it would be all about Julia! They were only four of the nine kids in class today and Mrs. Nett was out but they ate cupcakes and sang Happy Birthday anyway!

When we left we got the May newsletter in her backpack. Julia is student of the month for May!

 After school we met Daddy, Granddad and GranDi for lunch at Julia's choice, "the pig's house", also known as Larry's.

 Then we went to get ice cream at Suggaberries with Nonny, Nanny & Pop. Julia had strawberry with sprinkles, gummy bears and "jelly beans".

 After ice cream and naptime we met Nonny, Uncle Blake, Granddad, GranDi, Nanny, Pop, Aunt Robin, Natalie, Tracy, Hollye, Jared & Megan for a birthday dinner at McLin's.

 After cake it was time for presents! She was so cute opening them and so grateful. She said "I love it! I'm so happy! It's just what I wanted!" or some combination of those phrases after ever present.

And we can't forget the tutu and dance barre for her American Girl dolls from the Wynne's!

When we got home and got Charlotte changed into her jammies I put her on the floor in the living room. When I looked back she had the aliens and astronauts from Julia's space ship and a big grin on her face! Julia usually doesn't let her anywhere near them!

Sweet sisters!

Tonight when Julia was saying her prayers she said "Thank you for Mommy, Daddy, Charlotte and the best birthday ever!" I hope it was sweet girl. We love you!
