And now she is three

Lillian turned three on Sunday.

Three is a fun age.  We went to the mall this morning and she decided that she wanted to wear the fairy skirt she got for her birthday.  People think a three year old wearing a fairy skirt is cute. 

She got several dolls for her birthday.  She loves dolls.  She also likes to undress her dolls.  She has been brushing their hair, undressing them and stuffing them into various confined spaces like her toy fridge since she got them.

She still runs like Pheobe on "Friends" and it still makes me smile every time.  There is pure joy in that run. 

Here's to a great year birthday girl.  You make me glad you turned out to be a girl.

(This picture has been included mostly to show that my girls have a pretty cool dad.  She wanted daddy to paint her nails so daddy painted her nails.  For the record, he probably did a better job than I would have.)

Elijah spent literally hours decorating Lillian's birthday present.  Why buy gift bags when your kid loves to draw?

Words I never thought I'd say

"Stop fighting over the Bible!"
