my birthday is the best day!

lucia turned three yesterday and told us all day "my birthday is the best day!" we woke her up with the whole family coming in her room and singing happy birthday! she was glowing and yelled "thank you it is my birthday!" then she came down to open gifts and blow out three candles on a maple bar! here she is keagan right after opening gifts. she was so excited about her gifts! i got her this little side table for her new cd player grammy got her for her room. i found it at the farm chicks show. it is soooooooooo darling. she totally understood presents this time around and was ecstatic with each one.

she always licks all the maple off and hands me the bar. . . .

then we were off to mobius the children's museum downtown. i took all four kiddos with me and they all loved it. these bikes are always a hit! she loves to stop at the traffic lights.

so this is how we found lucia all day singing to her new cd dad made her in her birthday skirt and NEW RED COWGIRL BOOTS! what sassy three year does not need red cowgirl boots! aaron made her a cd with all her favorite songs. . . . soul sister by train, fireflies by owl city, party in the usa by miley cyrus, and baby beluga by raffi. i'm not sure it was the best idea to get her something that amplifies her voice. it is already the loudest voice i've ever heard in my life.

love this picture!

our darling three year old!

we had grammy and grampy over for a guatemalan dinner and corn on the cob. . lucia's all time favorite food!and of course tres leches cake! nobody could read what it said except for kinkade. WE LOVE LUCIA! duh????
