3rd Birthday Umbrella Party

I'm still blown away that we are celebrating your 3rd birthday.  This one was really fun.  At the beginning of the year, your friend Jennifer had an umbrella with her one day.  You ladies were intrigued with the umbrella.  You asked if you could have an umbrella and I said you have to be three to have an umbrella, so the umbrella party was born.  The really surprising thing about this is that every time you saw an umbrella, you would say "when we turn 3, we get umbrella's"  so the concept of this party was pretty much a no-brainer.

So it only seemed fitting that we needed to make it "rain".  It was a umbrella party after all.

It was such a great party. It was so nice that Uncle Jimmy, Auntie Nicole, Madelyn, Nana, Papa, Aunt Nita and Trace' all took the time to travel up for the party.  It was also nice to spend time with all our friends and family.  Until next year. :)
