3-Year Pictures

We get Aubri's pictures done every year in December right before her Birthday!  The following are this years.

She's so darling!!

Special Day

Aubri's 3rd Birthday was this past Tuesday, December 13th.  I took the day to be with her all day.  Daddy had to work, but he still got to spend some of it with us.

We started off the day by going to

the Botanical Center.

I took Aubri here when she was much smaller, I think roughly a year ago.  She loves it here and I do too.  It is so beautiful and peaceful.  We usually only spend about an hour, but it's just the right amount of time for her.  I could spend many more hours here just walking around, thinking, relaxing.

 We got a couple of quick pictures when we first entered.  This is a beautiful time of year to visit!

 On our way into the Show Room. 

 We never miss a chance to do a potting project!

 Decorating her pot.

 Putting in the soil then poking holes for the seeds.

 Placing the seeds so very carefully and covering them with soil.

 Packing the soil.

The finished project...now a little water and sun and patience and hopefully we'll have some baby carrots!

 This was a popular spot.  She loved the water and the fish.

 I hate this picture of me, but love it of Aubri!

 Another bridge.

 Cactus.

 She was all about pictures this day!

 This was a perfect place to go for her birthday!

 More pictures on the way out...we walked out the door and she said, "Wait, I gotta get a picture here..."

 "And here..."

and even here!

Our next stop was meeting daddy for lunch...

 Here.

It was delish!

Then we walked over to

for dessert!

 She picked what she wanted out of the case.

 Her very own pink champagne cake!

 What a beaut.

 Champagne cake, chocolate bundt cake, and raspberry cheesecake.  YUM

We were going to make one more stop to play at the mall, but she was exhausted.  It was a fun day.

Happy 3rd Birthday Angel.

We Love You!
