Tonight is the night before naia's 3rd birthday. well, technically, since it's past midnight, she's 3 now. i gave her lots of kisses on her sweet sleeping 3 year old face before i gave up trying to sleep and came downstairs... i can't sleep. nothing new, just the joys of pregnancy. anyway, it gave me time to display her birthday presents and do this blog for you! i have a LOT of halloween pictures but since i'm just throwing this thing together at 5 am, i'll just post a couple. mostly wanted to put up some pictures from yesterday, naia's last day as a 2-year-old. she has been such a sweet and loving 2-year-old, that i'm sad to see it end and have been a little i-don't-know-the-word (sappy) about it. so, i took lots of pictures of her last day as 2. and i kept announcing things all day, "last nap as a 2 year old,"... "last bath as a 2 year old,"... catch my drift? anyway, without further ado (cause i have done a bit of ado-ing...):
this was such a great little moment. naia filled her sticker chart at school. mrs. olsen wanted me to know she worked very hard to do this and that every sticker on there (if you can see in the picture) represented a good choice. when the chart was filled up, she got a prize. it was a shrek (we don't do shrek in our family- yet) book with a watercolor paint set to go with it. Yes, linda, i'm saving the chart for her book =). so there she is very proud, with her school in the background.
the next few are from trick or treating on halloween...
and after getting some loot we hung out a little at mary tess's
baby boy gibson wasn't about to let the halloween-before-his-first-halloween go by without a little gesture...
i loved this little outfit so i asked to take her picture. this was the pose she gave me. she is awesome.
look what her anya made her!! TOOO much! we ALL love it!
and here we have all those last-day-as a 2-year-old pictures i'm going on and on about =):
breakfast (yes i started early)
with the chef
grandma came up to help us get ready for the princess party...
so, naturally we went to lunch (..and we all talked to ariel on naia's phone, so she knew the cake was made of her)
isn't she sweet?
i mean, really
and right before bed... a little interview...
and a dance with her faorite partner <3
good night everyone! i can't wait for a great day with my little 3 year old... but maybe a 30 minute shut eye first =)
