Julia turns 3
Julia turned three today. She is the most precious, spunky, sweet and joyful little girl. She brings such life and fun into each day.
This morning I was sleeping in her room with her and she woke up and said "It's morning! Time to get up!" Since it was still so dark, I asked her if the sun was awake. She said "I'm not sure! I will go check."
She got up and pushed her curtains away and then looked through the blinds and said "No. The sun still asleep." Then she laid back down in bed next to me.
I told her happy birthday and started to sing, but she was adamant "You not sing right now. We wait until later." She kept listing off the people who were coming over today for her party and she was very excited about it!
We got up soon after and woke up Jeremy. Riley also woke up. We went downstairs and Jules rested on me on the couch while looking up at the fireplace. She says "What is that?" and starts to giggle. Lo and behold - Buddy, our elf, was sitting in the candle holding a note from Santa!! Santa wrote to tell us that he was busy at the North Pole working on presents for Christmas, but that he sent Buddy to say Happy Birthday to Julia and to bring a small gift (a Friends Lego set) for Julia. She was SOO excited about it!!
The lego set was put together quickly - a little newborn foal, a girl and carrot and a small horse corral/feeding trough. We all played for a little while before getting breakfast.
Riley had a friend's birthday party this morning so I took her to that while Jeremy took Julia out for some fun - a carousel ride at the mall, playing at Pottery Barn and doing a little shopping together.
When we got home, Julia was asleep on the couch. She woke up but was super restless so I took her upstairs where the two of us fell asleep together in her room. Jeremy woke us up at 4:30pm and said that everyone had been over our house for at least 45 minutes.
The party was all family and was very little stress as well as being very calm. The kids all played kindly and there were no arguments. It was very relaxing and very lovely. We sang happy birthday to Julia and she giggled a lot as we sang. She loved opening her presents - puzzles, dolls and some legos. She was pleased as could be and spent the night using everything she got. She couldn't wait to sleep with her new babies.
For dinner we had pizza and for her birthday treat we had nothing bundt cakes. Love those!!!
I can't believe she is three already. Yet I'm so glad that she is and so excited to see how she continues to grow into a sweet little lady.
