Carley Is 3!!


we kept things low key this year for Carley's special day.  we went to Ted's for pizza and then home for cake and presents!  in the morning i asked Carley what kind of cake she wanted, i was about to give her options (choc, vanilla, etc...), but she blurted out that she wanted PINK!  so pink it was.  strawberry cupcakes and pink strawberry frosting with pink sprinkles of course!  she even helped me make them.  her favorite part was licking the spoon.



it was fun to watch her open her gifts since this is the first year that she really knew what was going on and was excited.  trent and i gave her a sleeping beauty costume and my parents gave her 2 barbies (Rapunzel & a singing Ariel).  she was speechless and maybe even a little overwhelmed by the end of it all.  she just walked off in a happy pink trance...her reaction was so out of character for her that it made us all feel really good.  she was in heaven, the happiest 3 year old on the block!



Happy Birthday Carley!!!

LOW KEY??? THERE IS NOTHING LOW KEY (although maybe a little grungy) ABOUT TED'S PIZZA!!! Oh, I would give much to taste pepperoni with double cheese and onions. Sigh... my homesickness is getting worse. Happy birthday to your baby! Mine is sleeping...

Hey, how are you doing? Sorry we didn't get together before you took off. This is the toughest part, just remember. Hang in there! Call if you need to. Also, I just got all Sams school stuff and it still had your address on it. Hope you aren't getting a bunch of unneccessary school junk. I'll get that changed as soon as possible. I think you are awesome and I owe you big time. Let me know when I can pay you back!
