Ruby, My Big 3 year old!

Ruby opening a gift from Grandma. 

She was so animated and excited!!!  She opened all of her gifts extremely slow and would say, "Huh?, Huh?,  What is it????!!!!"  It was so cute how excited she was when she unwrapped all of her presents.  I can't wait for Christmas to see and hear her all over again!  

Covering your eyes always makes things less scary. 

These two are besties and cousins.

I love that this picture has a cute random little girl in it.  Funny.

They were so excited that they got to meet Chucky Cheese! 

She LOVED everything that she got for her birthday!

She was so happy!!!   

Pink is her favorite color if you haven't noticed from all of the presents. 

Ruby really wanted to go to Chucky Cheese's for her Birthday this yeaer.  So we had a small little party for her with just family.  She had a blast!  And then we had cupcakes at my sister Heather's house while the girls played dress up.  Finn was so cute, he ran up stairs to grab his keyboard so he could play the music to Happy Birthday while we sang to her.  It was a really great day!

I can't believe my baby girl turned three!  She is so much fun!  I've never met any child like her, she's such a unique and hilarious little girl.  It's so fun to see her mind at work.  She acts so much older all of the sudden.  I'm so grateful to have her in my life and I adore everything about her.  She loves to help me and loves being a big sister.  She loves to sing and make up songs and actually sings right on tune.  She's afraid of the dark so of course we had to purchase a Tinkerbell night light.  She LOVES books.  She'll make up her own stories while she reads them or she'll recite the books word for word from memorizing what we've read to her.  She such a little sponge.  She has her daddy wrapped around her little finger.  They are kindred spirits.  They are both so passionate about life and have such cute quirky personalities.  She loves to make up silly little jokes.  She still has to sleep with her poka-dot pink blanket every night.  She still sucks her thumb.  She is really into Princesses and Princes right now and loves to talk about who she is going to marry.  She was convinced it was going to be her dad and then it changed to her cousin Raleigh.  So cute!  She wants to be a doctor like her uncle Ben when she grows up.  Her favorite movie is Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.  And she's a little chocolate lover like her mommy.  I feel so lucky that I get to hang out with her everyday.  I'm so excited that I get to watch her grow up.  Life is so rewarding and fulfilling with Ruby in our lives.  

We love you Ruby, so so much!
