Happy Birthday Baby!

Melanie continues to promise me that she'll stay my little girl forever, but there she goes and has another birthday. I can't believe that she's already 3! We decided to have so fun by going to the mall and getting both Melanie and Savannah's hair cut. I can't believe how long their hair has grown just in the last few months. Being at the mall of course included some play time in the play area, a stop at Wetzel Pretzel, and of course a treat from See's Candy. It was lots of fun just having a little girl time. Then we went over to Grandma's house for a little party. We celebrated with a cupcakes that were topped with Princess Rings. I thought it was cute that Melanie thought that she needed Savannah's moral support to blow out the candles. And being the good big sister that she is, Savannah was quite happy to help. The rings were a big hit, and of course everyone had to pick their favorite princess. Melanie picked Aurora and Savannah picked Cinderella.I thought it was funny that Melanie licked the frosting off of her cupcake and called it good. Spencer, on the other hand, completely devoured (or destroyed) his cupcake. He even saved some of the frosting on his pacifier for later! I also wanted to throw this picture in there and show everyone that Melanie and Grandma's doggy, Lilly, now get along. Melanie was deathly afraid of Lilly for a long time, but has finally got over it. I'm just glad that Lilly is so easy going and takes the abuse from the kids quite well. Of course we had plenty of presents...Grandmas, Aunts, and Uncles always spoil her. Melanie loved everything she got. She has carried little Snow White everywhere today and we've had to change her outfit almost every hour. And who thought that the activity case with over 1000 items was a good idea? Thanks Grandma; Melanie and Savannah have already fought over all the different little pieces. Last, but not least, Melanie has been asking for a dollhouse for her birthday for the last month. So Jon did some work and found a really nice one on craigslist. It is wooden and came complete with really nice furniture. Melanie was tickled pink when she saw it. Sorry there's no pictures of the actual dollhouse, but Spencer was way past done (he's working on getting 2 molars right now) and no further pictures were taken. The girls have enjoyed playing with the house today, but there were so many accessories that they can't seem to get past the "setting up" stage and Savannah keeps telling me that they "haven't even got to play yet!"
Happy Birthday my Sweet Baby!It seems like only yesterday that we brought you home from the hospital. What a cutie!
