She's three

The Lord did indeed bless us with a 'pearl' when He gave us Greta.  She is such a treasure.  So tender-hearted, expressive, loving, energetic.  She loves to dress in pretty skirts and wear pink and cook and bake and dance and read her Storybook Bible at bedtime.  Little Pink Person.  She turned three last Wednesday.  Three--how can it be?  It was a lovely day at home.  She helped me bake her birthday cake.  A delicious gluten-free chocolate cake from Elana's almond flour cookbook frosted with marshmallow frosting.  She put the sprinkles and candles on entirely by herself (as she would say, "wiss mysewf"). 


We had a happy birthday-bunting and made vanilla ice cream with coconut milk.
My family was able to be here for supper.  Mimi made and brought over a magnificent lasagna.


Three candles!

The cake and ice cream were delicious.

She was so very pleased with her presents, and so grateful.

We love you so much, Greta Rose!

Happy Birthday Greta!!

Oh, what a sweet girl you have. We have a "pearl" as well, our Maggie Rose will be twelve this year.

"Wis myself," don't you love the precious little things they say? My 5yo Sophie would say, "by my 'lone."

Glad to see you had such a wonderful celebration with your dear family. Lasagne~~yum!
