It was fun to watch her open up her presents because she was so excited about it. Her favorite gifts included: baseball tee w/ bat and ball, crown (she wore it ALL day long... every where we went), bubble blower, pink wig... but, her very favorite gift was actually a birthday card she received from her Bestemor and Grandpa. It played music and a recorded message from them... Susie just opened and re-opened it up all day... she thought it was so cool.
Party... Cake... and a Pinata!
We had a small party with some of Susie's cute cute neighbor friends.
Daphne, Dayton (Susie's BFF and choice for husband!), Andee, Carter, and Susie.... all lookin' fly in their shades.
Susie and I made this pinata... it turned out way better than I would have thought, and was super easy... and fun! All the kids loved taking turns to swing at the thing, and it was fun to watch their cute little determined faces.
Since the kids were barely making dents in the pinata, Dave thought he would step-in and help with the swinging. Unfortunately, as he was helping Susie's friend Dayton, he whacked the poor boy in the mouth! Dayton was okay after a hug from his mom and then bravely came back to the game, but Dave felt so bad! So, I stepped in with Susie (with much more effort than I thought would be needed) to conquer the pinata.
Gathering the Goods!
Singing "Happy Birthday" to Susie girl.
Three candles to make a wish!

looks like a blast.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUSIE.
we can't wait to see you.
Dayton is STILL reminding me that it's Susie's birthday, and that he got his glasses from Susie (by the way, I LOVE the picture you got of the kids wearing the glasses). Your party was great. Your parties are always great. Can I hire you for Dayton's birthday?
I can't believe she's already 3! You are an amazing mom. Much love
So cute. Happy birthday Susie. The time goes so so fast - I wish they would stay small. She is darling and you are such a cute mom.
The boys in your fam are not bad either.
april, you are darling. i just looked at a lot of your old posts and i can't believe what you are doing. birthday parties, half-marathons, mary poppins, lake michigan, dancing, etc. you are, and always have been, a great example to me. i love that i can feel your motherly love even over a blog post. i miss you and can't wait to see you.
