3 Years ago today...

The Lord blessed us with a smart, caring and beautiful girl. It has been fun to see her grow over the past 3 years. She is very determined and always accomplishes what she sets her mind to. She has become quite the independent little girl that likes to do things on her own. This trait has allowed her to master new skills everyday.

We started the day off by carrying on the Scott tradition of having funnel cake on your birthday. I know it's not the healthiest way to start the day but I reasoned with myself by saying it's just like a donut. The kids loved them - of course who wouldn't love fried dough with powder sugar on top? I think the powder sugar was their favorite because they kept licking it off their plate. Aunt Katie was here so she got to join in on the breakfast fun before heading to my parents.

After church we had lunch, cake and let Ainsley open one present. We were trying to wait until dinner but she had been talking about her birthday cake for over 3 weeks. She couldn't wait to have a Dora cake with pink flowers. Since it was her birthday we decided to let her have cake early. We told her to pick one gift and of course she picked the biggest box. Well, she ripped it half way and decided that was not the gift she wanted and said, no I want that one pointing to another. Then we figured out she was trying to find the present with the puzzles. (She knew she was getting them because she was with me when I bought them.) Luckily I knew which box it was and she was happy as a clam when she opened them. The girl LOVES puzzles!! She did both puzzles in no time and it was off to bed for a nap. After nap time we headed to Chuck E. Cheese's. Let me warn other parents never go to Chuck E. Cheese's on a Sunday night. It was packed. After all the tokens were spent, prizes picked out and pizza eaten we headed home to open the rest of the presents. For those of you that don't know Ainsley is in her ballerina phase. If you tell her she's smart she says "No, I'm a Ballerina." She sits in her car seat repeating "I'm a ballerina, I'm a ballerina, I'm a ballerina" over and over and over and over again. She loves Angelina Ballerina which is not the easiest toy to find. Monte's parents got her a ballerina doll that hooks to her feet and she can dance with it. We got her a tutu so she danced with her tutu on and the ballerina on her feet. After eating cake for a second time it was time for bed. All and all we had a great day celebrating the birth of our little princess - I mean ballerina.
