August 2011 Happy 3rd Birthday Eden Olivia!

Happy Birthday Eden!

Your Mama and Daddy cannot believe that you are turning three! Time is going so fast. It was just yesterday that you were turning one. This year we have decided to have your birthday at Maple View Farms. It is a dairy farm. You really love farm animals and we thought it would be perfect for your third birthday. We have invited a lot of your friends from the Jordan Center and some friends from the neighborhood as well. Guess what! 22 of your good friends have RSVP'd! Your Mama is very busy making your birthday invitation and planning your big day. You and your friends are going to go on a hayride through the dairy farm, milk "Maple" the cow and eat homemade ice cream from the farm. Your Mama and Daddy are hoping we get to milk the cow also!

Your mama and daddy gave you a "bouncy house" for your birthday and we set it up early in the morning so that you would see it first thing as you went downstairs the day of your birthday party! Your were so excited that you jumped with joy!

Eden you are so cute and sweet at three! You are also very smart! You can now recognize the letters in the alphabet. You are very strong willed and sometimes give your Mama and Daddy a fit! You are very clever and know how to get what you want! One night when we were eating dinner and you noticed that I had diet coke and that you had milk you quietly suggested that we do a swap! You said that I could have your milk and that you would take my diet coke and we could call it sharing! You were 2 1/2 when you came up with this idea. Guess what your Mama said yes! You looked at me like you could not believe that I bought you story. I thought it was so clever of you that I just had to go along with it! We cannot wait to celebrate many more wonderful birthday's with you. I wonder how we can top this birthday next year?
