3rd Birthday . . . continued

Thought I would post pictures from yesterday, opening presents and enjoying her cupcake.  She got to open presents from us, our neighbors dropped off a gift, mom-mom & pop-pop Kresge, and Uncle Darrell & Aunt Diann.

She opened all her birthday presents from papa Eric, Grandma Linda and her Aunt Tina & Uncle Curt when we were in Erie for Thanksgiving.  Her birthday is really a month long celebration :-)  Today she gets to bring in snack for school and they will sign happy birthday to her.

After this it was straight to the bath!

 She went to the beanbag while playing.  Ready for milk & bed, it's been a very big day!

Our living room looks like Christmas is over!  Time to clean up to make room for Santa.

Happy 3rd Birthday!

It doesn't seem possible but Annabelle turns 3 today!  In honor of her birthday I thought I would write a top 10 list of our past year in review:
