Happy 3rd Birthday Lila, Carter & Madelyn

 

I just can’t believe these cuties are already 3. What happened to our tiny little babies?  You would never know now that these wild toddlers were ever 2lbs 15 oz, 3lbs 10oz and 1lb 10 oz.  It seems like just yesterday we were bringing them home one by one from the hospital. After that the time just started flying!  I still remember the feeling of worrying myself sick over whether being 9 weeks early would effect their development.  We are so very blessed that they are happy, healthy and thriving three year olds!

Over the past 3 years they have taught us patience, determination, how to live every moment to its fullest, to love unconditionally, and most importantly to trust God. They have shown us that even in the scariest moments of our lives God is right there with us all the time answering our prayers.

We decided to have our friend birthday party at Totter Otterville this year on Saturday November 10th. We just love it there so it was the perfect place to celebrate our 3rd birthday with friends!

We sang happy birthday to each one individually and they blew out candles.

What a great birthday weekend we had.  Unfortunately, the week preceding our party we were struck with the stomach bug. What a great way to start the 3’s!!

  1. Wow, such an enjoyable party these three kids had. Watching all of these photos was truly enjoyable for me. I am also very busy these days in planning and plotting of my son’s upcoming birthday. He is a fun little guy so a funky themed bash would be perfect. Trying to hunt for the affordable indoor venue NYC. Does anyone here have recommendations?
