THREE

Well, she did it! She done turned three on us.



The weather was magical and after a breakfast of chocolate croissants, we headed out for a walk with Zoey, our dog. I managed to catch several new favorite pictures of her:



I also caught about two hundred more that are close -second- favorites. After her nap, we went to a farmstead to see the goats, which by the way is what she wanted for her birthday. A GOAT. And, an apple tree - "because goats like apples!!" Instead, we gave her a fish aquarium for her room, and she picked two beta fish for it.



We worked with Kenzie on being thankful for her gifts, even though her enthusiasm is usually enough thanks in itself. She's just a spirited sweet little being (*most of the time), but we want her to be polite too.



My favorite saying of the day:
"Thank you Mama & Daddy ...for my birthday!!"

Of course, she was trying to capture how much she enjoyed her day....but the saying in itself is slightly profound. :)

Dearest Kenzie - you are such a joy. So active and lively and just a lover of life. On your third birthday, your gifts were thoughtful and demonstrative of your true passions. The ant farm, fish aquarium, red radio, butterfly boutique, etc. are sure to give us all a good many wide eyes & giggles over the coming year. I can't wait to experience them all with you. You are such a dramatic little firecracker and a joy to be around. Thank you... for your birthday!!

Love, Mama
