Happy 3rd Birthday Reece!!!

"Behold, [Children] are a gift from the Lord..." Ps. 127:3 NAB

We are so thankful for Reece. She truly is a gift from God. She is such a joy to have in our family and brings us much laughter and happiness. Reece, we are so excited to celebrate your life today!

"Since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way."
Col. 1: 9-10a

Today, we had a fun day celebrating Reece's 3rd Birthday. This morning, Reece opened presents from us and then we had cake and ice cream for breakfast! Then this evening, we went out to dinner with Uncle Joe, Aunt Abby, and Cousin Elizabeth to Red Robin. Then, we came back to our house for more cake and ice cream.

Reece will celebrate with her best friends, Amy and Beth Carlson this upcoming Wednesday. They are coming to our house for a Spaghetti Dinner - Reece's favorite. So, Reece gets to stretch her birthday celebrations out.

Reece got a Little Einstein's Laptop. Her big sisters are showing her how it works.

Reece enjoyed the singing Dora card we got her. This is a game from Jonathan, Hannah and Daniel Stepp. Thanks J, H, and D! Reece loves it!

Reece loves her new Dora Mermaid Doll. She swims in water. So, a bath was in order today.

Reece wanted a Dora Cookie Cake. So, mommy did her best to make one. Trying to blow out her candles. She has been saying this week that she is going to be "One." She was only able to blow out one candle today. Maybe that is why she was telling everyone she was going to be one. A few months ago, she was telling everyone she was going to be "four." I still don't think she truly knows how old she is. :)Getting a birthday hug from Cousin Lizzie. The Red Robin crew singing "Happy Birthday" to Reece.
