Happy 3rd Birthday Hadassah!

I can't believe that my little girl is already 3 years old! It really seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital. Life is never boring with Hadassah. She is always keeping me on my toes when it comes to parenting. While she looks like her daddy she sure has her mom's attitude! She is sweet, teachable, loves to read, sings all the time, has a heart to pray for others, is a huge helper around the house, loves her little brother, loves to run and climb, loves to explore outside, has 6 or so babies that she takes care of and about 30 more in her tummy, she loves to get mail, she is smarter than her parents know what to do with, and is as precious as they come.

We just enjoyed celebrating her birthday with a bunch of her little friends. This year she really wanted a Critter (Calico Critter) birthday party. After months of thinking through how I could do this, and coming up with very few ideas, I finally asked her if we could think of another idea. One that she thought of was Cowboys and Cowgirls. My mom and I starting thinking through some ideas but when we went to the store and saw the pick cowgirl hat - we were sold! I hope you will enjoy seeing a glimpse of Haddassah's 3 year old birthday party!

All the party food!

Gold Rush crackers, Oregon Trail Mix, Veggies and Ranch, Peeps (in honor of Auntie Sarah's Chickens), Wrangler Ropes (red vines), popcorn in cones, root beer for the adults, and pink and white milk in jars for the kids!

Before all the cowgirls and boy lost it we decided to take a group shot! So glad we did!

Haddie, we love you so much and are so proud of the little girl that you are growing into. We pray that God would continue to shape his character in you and that you would continue to seek after God and serve Him alone. Thanks for keeping lots of laughter in our home!
