Happy 3rd Birthday and Happy Easter!

 It has been a year since our last update but with such a big week and lots of requests for pictures I am going to just put these up and hope to catch up with past pictures at some other time.
We have the best 3 year old ever and she had a week full of celebration.
Tuesday was this little girl's birthday and she was smiling from ear to ear almost all day. 

She was trying to get into the presents all day as we waited for Daddy to get home from work. She was crafty and got into the butterfly wings before he made it home. 

A big smile for her new baby! She is excited to have a little baby to feed and take care of. 

All the new baby gear. She carries around her diaper bag all day and tells me that I need to take care of her stinky baby. I guess our next step is getting her to change the diapers herself :)

On Friday we had our big Mickey Mouse birthday party. This is the calm right before the storm

Our little Minnie Mouse. She wore the ears for about 2 minutes.

On Saturday we headed off to the community Easter Egg Hunt 
and Ellie came away with a huge pile of candy

We met up with her best buddy Alex

And they walked away holding hands

We did a little face painting and you can see what her opinion of that was.
 She kept telling me to wash her face off

Riding the pony like a pro

She loved the pony and wanted to ride it again and again

Easter morning we found a present from the Easter Bunny! 
(And Grandma and Aunt Becky... thanks!)

We have had a great week and are so blessed to have this little girl in our lives!
