Happy 3rd Birthday to Brielle!

Brielle (Ellie, Bo-bellie, Biscuit) turned 3 on May 4th (international Star Wars day!). We had TWO great days of celebration for her. She is such a great addition to our family and we love her so much. We a looking forward to what the next year has in store for her and for us.

Megan baked Ellie a chocolate cake as this was exactly what she had asked for. Well, actually she asked for a "twalk-quite" cake, but we think we got the idea. Meg decided to let her help decorate the cake with M&Ms, with which Ellie had no problem.

On Monday the 3rd, we had a family party at James' parent's house. The kids had a grand time playing with their boats in the spa. They both slept great that night. Megan said "Well they had no problem going down for bed tonight after spending 2 hours in the spa." I told Megan that I look forward to a time in my life when I can say the same thing about myself. :)

Ellie received many great presents from friends and family. She is a very lucky girl!

On her actual birthday, Brielle went to the Build-a Bear factory to get a plush toy. She spent a good deal of time there picking out just the right puppy. After inspecting it she was asked what the puppy's name would be. Fluffy Ear. She calls it like she sees it.

To round out her birthday we had a simple little family dinner out on the balcony of our place. It was nice to just get to sit around and talk to her about what her day was like and what she liked best. Ethan enjoyed smearing cake and ice cream all over the place. Meg and I just enjoyed being parents.
