We have a Three Year Old!!!

We had the unique opportunity this year to give Alyssa a real birthday this year since we celebrated Christmas early. We didn't even mention that it was Christmas to her and she loved having her own special day. We let her choose all of the meals, the frosting for her cake, what kind of ice cream she wanted, and we even let her put the candles on her cake. She loved every minute of the whole day. Below is a picture of her in front of the loot.
She loved all of the presents, but she got a really big smile about the Dora Card and movie that she got from her Aunt Shannon.
She was nice enough to share some of the wrapping paper with Ashley.
Here she is after she blew out the candles on her cake.
We love our little Alyssa and feel so blessed for these past three years we have had with her.

Oh my goodness, I can't believe that she is 3 already. That is so fun that she was able to have her own day. She is so cute and looks like she had a great day.
