...and she's 3!

Halle is 3! We are big into getting older at our house ('we' being Zach and Halle) and so this was soooo exciting for Halle. As soon as she turned 3, she decided she could do all sorts of things on her own - putting on socks, shirts, getting drinks. A week prior, she needed Mom's help, but as a 3-year-old, she decided she could finally do it.

I love this girl! She lights up a room when she enters it. She is 100% personality. She is a little tease and often teases Zach, Dad, and her uncles. She loves to sing. She loves princesses. She has quite the imagination. She can often be heard in her bed at night making conversation with all her Disney princesses. She is bright and witty. I think she has incredible "street smarts". She can read people well and knows just what to do to make someone happy. She holds my hand everywhere we go. She is my little pal. I think she is simply wonderful.

For her 3rd birthday, Halle chose to have a family party. She was thrilled to have everyone come. Halle originally wanted a Rapunzel tower cake, but was thrilled with the Sleeping Beauty cake. She told me it was "beautiful" and that she wanted to share it with everyone. My brother told me with a little Photoshopping, the cake would look just fine.

Happy birthday, Babe!
