Lydia turns 3!

Mom asked Lydia a week before her birthday, "So what do you want for your birthday?"


"I don't know," Lydia shrugged.


"Would you be happy with a rock?" Mom asked.


"Ooh!" Lydia squealed. "A pink rock, and a purple rock!"



Well, she didn't get any rocks, but there was definitely a lot of pink and purple going on. :)


Here we're singing her 'Happy Birthday', and I guess she decided to roll on the couch.



Opening presents ...

Her birthday cakes which Mom decorated. Lydia wanted to put 'marshmayows and m&ms' in the cake ... and it turned out really good! Then we found some pink marshmallows to decorate it with. :)

Lydia had been talking for weeks how she was going to have 'a flower cake and a butterfly cake', but when they were getting the cake pans out, she changed her mind and decided on a 'bunny wabbit and an ice-team cone'. :D
She had the hardest time figuring how to blow out her candles ... it was pretty funny watching her.
Lydia may think she blew out her own candles ... but I have photographic evidence. :P
Grandma asked her several weeks ago what she wanted for her birthday. Lydia shrugged, "A pink gun." All of us laughed, 'cause we'd never heard her say anything about a gun before, and she sounded like she'd given it some thought!
And sure enough, Grandma found a pink gun!

Mom put Lydia to bed, and asked, "What was your favorite part of your birthday?"

"Popsicles!" she answered.

Mom did a second take. "But we didn't have popsicles."

"I know, but they're the best!" Lydia said. Guess we all failed at that one. :P
