birthday girl

We had a birthday girl at the end of September...

...3 years old!

She got spoiled with presents from family and friends.

Tangled!

We've started a tradition each year of making a birthday slideshow with of lots of photos from the previous year set to some of her favorite music from the year. She loves them and enjoys watching them over and over -- this year was no exception.

You can check it out here via Dropbox -- the quality is much better if you download it, though be warned it is over 300mb :)

Someone couldn't wait to start making cupcakes.

Birthday girl!

One of the favorite presents was a pizza kit -- yum!

We didn't have a party this year so we took her out to dinner...

...and to the Disney Store where she got to pick out a "princess thing" which ended up being a new "spelling wand."

We love our three-year-old Brooklyn girl! It's been a busy year!

Some things that come to mind when we think of Brooklyn at or around three years old:

- pink

- princesses

- her necklace and bow (matching Hello Kitty)

- books

- spelling

- pink

- sweet

- strong-willed

- smart (we're pretty sure she has a photographic memory)

- budding imagination

- social

- pink

- soccer

- big sister

- our beautiful little baby girl is growing up!
