Blessed by Two: Birthday girl

Lorelei had a fabulous birthday with lots of love and attention from those around her! We started the day off with a brunch at Paxton's school where everybody loved all over the Birthday Princess! Then Lorelei went to her school and had more fun and attention. She was the line leader (this is a big deal!) and got to wear a special star crown and birthday vest. After lunch I brought brownie cupcakes with pink icing, per the birthday girl's request! Of course she was just so excited she had about two bites and then was finished!

In the afternoon, daddy came home with some Barbie balloons and she got to open her gifts from us. She is loving her new pink Leapster and we are working on learning to ride the new Barbie bike! Later, after her favorite meal of beef stroganoff (I know right?!) the whole family came over for a Barbie birthday extravaganza!! We found the most perfect Barbie cake from Publix for the party and it was a hit even with a brother and 3 (almost 4) boy cousins! Lorelei just loves celebrating and being with others. She's loving her new Barbie horse and convertible and is begging me daily to cook on her new Princess Mini Bake Oven (we will do it eventually!)
I say this every year, but Lorelei is such a HUGE blessing and an answer to so many many prayers! She had such a rough start to life but I couldn't ask for anything more from my little Boo! We love her so much and are very proud of who she is becoming and how much she loves God! She is always saying little things like "God made everything!, God sent his son Jesus for us!, God loves us!" I just love it!
