Kate you are THREE!!!

More pictures to ome from Kate's birthday party today but I just had to post on her birthday and show these pictures of our girl today as she turned 3!!!  This past year of being two has had it's troubles and terrible times but overall we have made it out and have a very sweet little girl on our hands.  She has grown so much in the last year! I can't believe that our first November in Connecticut this little girl was just a baby in my arms

and now 3 years later we have a little girl who is getting bigger and older by the minute.  

Moments from today I don't want to forget:

• After we sang Happy Birthday to you, you said "Well thanks everybody!"  
• I think a favorite part of your day was your pink birthday cake (at your request) but a close second was having apple juice drink boxes.  You drank almost 4 and we had to put a stop to it.  Obviously you don't get straight juice and you tasted the difference!  
• You looked precious sitting with Shiloh and Cal at your table eating your cake.  
• You were more interested in playing with your friends than opening your gifts.  In fact when we finally opened your gifts after everyone was gone, you were patient and ok with us just letting you open one to play with before bedtime.  Funny note:  The toy you picked was from Aunt Whitney and Uncle Anthony and it was a cleaning kit...my little clean girl!  

Here's a little video as a year in review:
