Nella is 3!

Nella Ruth turned 3 on February 8. 
She requested a 'sprinkly' doughnut and chocolate milk for her birthday breakfast.
 She loved her presents.

We didn't have a big party for her this year. We did serve her cupcakes at our Church's super bowl party, though. Everybody sang to her at half time. She loved it and definitely thought everyone was there for her birthday party! 

Our girl is growing up so fast! She is smart, thoughtful, and absolutely hilarious! She loves: Thomas & Friends (show & toys), coloring, helping me cook and bake, playing with my iPod, going to church, dancing, macaroni & cheese, yogurt, soup, bossing Silas around, going to Target, pink, purple, sparkles, and her daddy.  She doesn't love: having her hair washed/fixed/brushed, when Silas messes up her toys, being told that she can't have another snack, when the bathwater is too warm, when the bathwater is too cold, or when the covers on her bed get messed up. 

She is a quick learner and just like 3 year olds everywhere, she can and will test the limits. She is a great big sister and loves helping out with Silas. She has a phenomenal memory and has most of her favorite books, songs and movies down pat. She is also still learning her catechism questions, though I've been told that she sometimes refuses to recite them in Sunday school. Oh, Nella Ruth! So sweet. So beautiful. So defiant. So 3 years old! 

One.
Two.
Three.

Also, I have that birthday cake set. It's a big hit in therapy.
