Summer Turns 3!!

Yep... this happened over a month ago, and yep I'm just now finally getting around to posting it. :) But last month our little Summer Anne made the jump from 2 years old to 3-- although it's hard to believe she just barely turned three! She's been so mature for her age... not to mention tall... for so long that I pretty much thought of her as a three year old anyway!
Anyway... her birthday celebrations were pretty mellow this year. We had just gotten back from Christmas vacation the week before (and were still working on recovering and cleaning) and there was just no time to pull together something big. But that was a-okay since she had semi-celebrations for days on end! So even though events were small, it definitely dragged out the birthday fun (something which definitely gave Dixie a bad case of 'birthday envy'!!)
That morning I taught Dixie's Joy School at our house, so all the kids had fun singing Happy Birthday to Summer and getting some treats. But that evening we just kept it to our family and had a fun time together with our little munchkin. And despite keeping it low key, she managed to collect quite some fun toys from friends and family. She sure is loved! :)
She really is such a joy. And although she's in a phase where she can definitely throw some attitude around, we sure love this little sweetheart and all her sweet snuggles.

 {Summer requested a strawberry cake for her birthday, so that's what she got! Definitely not my prettiest work of art, but it sure was tasty! (and I enjoyed it a whole lot more knowing I hadn't stayed up until 2 AM to make it!! :)}

{Notice who actually blows the candles out in the end. That little Dixie Jean is a sneaky one!}


Happy Birthday Little Monkey!
