vivi turns three

Oh goodness.

We had so much fun.

All day the kids were running around singing “Happy Birthday” to Vivienne.

She was joining in, too.

Evidently, she’s not shy about that sort of thing.

In fact, all that singing just added to the excitement that was building all. day. long.

By the time the party actually started, the kids were ready to burst.

Especially this kid.

She loved every single second of her big day.

Soaking in everything… as she always does.

The singing.

The cake.

The presents.

The tiara.

Especially the tiara.

She loved it all.

Happy, happy birthday Vivienne! We love you so!!

    I'm not ready for a family just yet but you are such an inspiration. My husband and I have talked a lot about adoption and I've always wanted a lot of kids so they would have each other. I don't know how you manage such a big household (or how you keep all those little mouths fed) but I will be taking notes!
