The Birthday Girl

Three.

I have a three year old.

I know people have 9 year olds. 16 year olds. 30 year olds.

But not me. yet anyway. For now, I still can't believe that she's already three.

Three years has gone fast.



We had a full blown Tinkerbell themed birthday party for Eden on Saturday evening.



Eden was INCREDIBLY blessed with some cool new toys and cute new fall clothes. Brandon and I got her a bike for her birthday but she got it a couple months ago so she could use it before it got too cold outside...pictures to come. :)

Birthday parties are an awesome reason to have family and friends come together!



Eden with all four of her great-grandparents. On the right, Gigi, my grandmother. Grandma Harriett, Granny and Grandpa, are brandon's grandparents.



Brandon's brother and sister and soon-to-be sis-in-law.



E and S can't get enough of their cousins, Audrey and Judah. It's not a great picture, but you get the idea!



After cupcakes, Salem sported his favorite shirtless look.



Eden, and what remained of her neon pink cupcake.



We asked Eden what she wanted to do for her birthday and she wanted to ride Granddad's horses. (my dad) We couldn't do it on her actual birthday, but saturday morning we headed out there bright and early. Granddad was ready to go! As always!



It wasn't Eden's first time to ride Suzy, Granddad's new pony, but she still got strict instructions again from Daddy on proper saddle horn holding etiquette.



Salem's turn!



While Dusty took a snooze, Salem was in horse heaven.



From one ride to the next...







When we asked Eden at the end of her birthday week what her favorite part was she said, "Tinkerbell chonies and riding the tractor."
So next year, if you can't ship a tractor to Chiner, a new package of skivvies ought to make her day! :)
