Happy Birthday

Eliza turned 3 years old today! I can't believe I've been a mom for that long. Wow, you'd think I'd have a few more things figured out by now, huh? All these phases she goes through are really throwing me for a loop.

We were going to have her party on Sunday but she and Matt caught a cold so we didn't want to risk getting anyone else sick. So she hasn't really gotten presents yet but my sister in law, Megan made this for her. I mean, have you ever seen a cuter bag? If you can't tell, it's the perfect size for a coloring book and it has slots for crayons in the front. She is so talented, I don't know how she makes all these things but it's perfect for Eliza!

So we had a mini party with just the three of us after Jackson went to bed. We made and decorated cupcakes and then took the extras to our neighbors. So fun! Can you tell which part of the cupcake is Eliza's favorite?



Eliza is such a blessing in our lives. She makes me laugh all the time and teaches me so much. It is incredible how much a little person like her can learn and absorb from the world around her.

She is smart, funny, and very loving. I love my daughter more than I can say. Most of the time I feel like I don't deserve her. Happy birthday sweet girl!

So fun!! I am glad she had a fun birthday. Makayla got to decorate a cupcake on her birthday too! But she eats the frosting and top layer of cupcake. They could share one :o)
