Sierra's 3rd birthday was spent with family... Do you see the little dot running ahead of everyone in this shot?  Can you guess she was excited!?

 

We first headed over to the sandbox at the apartment for some sunshine and playing.  Liam and Sierra loved it!  The weather was loved by all of us.

 She loved Bapa helping out with sand castles and Gigi chasing her in the sand.  She had all the attention from those she loved and couldn't have been happier.

The grand kids got leisure rides back to the house with their Bapa and Papa.

 Sierra had a "Dora" party and Sierra's cousins Maggie and Ben made her some perfect decorations we put up for the party since they couldn't join us.  Sierra getting love from her Mimi.

Then it was present time.  She loved everything she got and used perfect manners mostly on her own.  She even let Liam help her out with opening and sharing her gifts.  We have come a long way in this area.

This little girl's face was priceless when everyone started singing Happy Birthday to her.  She glanced around and had the biggest smile.  She sings the song all the time, even to herself so to have everyone singing it was so special to her.

 One of her presents was the soccer ball she had been waiting for her Bapa to give her.   I think we'll be spending a lot of time outside doing soccer.  She already begs for it when she gets up.

One last family shot at the end.  We are so blessed by this little girl and the wonderful person she is growing into to.  We are so grateful to be called her parents.
