My girl is the BIG 4 today! Wow! I cant believe it...i have been telling her all day that she has to go backwards instead of forward with her age...that today she is 3.
She is not buying into this idea at all!
Here are some highlights of her BIRTHday......
The epidural always makes me sleepy...and so groggy!
Our beautiful little girl...off the subject a bit, but isn't my hubby SO HOT!!
THE most amazing moment in all of life...holding your brand new beautiful baby for the first time...UNBELIEVABLE!!!
yes...marissa was bigger than her big brother, logan.
P.E.R.F.E.C.T!!! and love all that beautiful dark hair!
man she was such a gorgeous baby!!!
wide-eyed!!
first time meeting her amazing big brothers...they were so excited!
Today was great! Grandma Burtenshaw was even here this morning to help kick off the glorious day. Marissa woke up to the balloons, decorations and her brand new big girl bike! She was so happy!
We had to wait ALL DAY for shawn to get home from work to open the rest of the presents and man it was a long wait!
She asked every 20 minutes if she could just open one...please!
She picked the place for dinner...a tradition in our family.
The choice: Wendys!
Then off to the Rec Center to swim...her favorite thing!
Home for presents and cake....i have to hand it to her...she
made it until 8pm to open the rest of her presents!
thank you babe for being so patient!
The loot:
From my mom and bruce: Lagoon season pass and homemade skirt (ADORABLE!!)
From Grandma and Grandpa Allen: beach towel, movie, gift card, socks, headbands, color wonder book, book, and notepad. (spoiled!)
From mom and dad: bike, helmet, barbie head, barbie, barbie clothes, spongebob pjs, swimsuit,
cute pjs, earrings, and shoes.
My favorite things about my beautiful Marissa:
1. her sweet spirit
2. her cute dimples
3. she is so motherly
4. she is so complimentary
5. her tight, two-armed death hugs
6. her self-confidence
7. the love she has for her dad...she adores him!
8. her smile
9. that she is mine!!!
I love you baby girl!
may we always be the best of friends just like we are right now!
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Halle just turned 4 a few weeks ago. I forget they are so close in age. I feel the same way about not wanting her to grow older :( That skirt your mom made is darling! Tiff and I have been wanting to make skirts for the girls! Wish you lived closer!
