What a Great Day!

Marissa's Birthday was such a special day and we all had a great time. Aside from her being a little naughty by refusing to take a nap, she was an angel and had a constant smile on her face.

After her non-nap, we pulled out her first present: a brand new Radio Flyer tricycle that has a handle on the back for us to push her.

Jeremy worked hard to put it together Friday night after Marissa was in bed:

Marissa, pre-three wheeled surprise...


... and after!



Mmmmmm, pretty dress! Thanks Auntie Chelle and Uncle Nate!


My Pretty Pony and Elmo book from Katie and Kaden. She also got a Sesame Street sticker book from them too (no pics). Thanks guys!

Cruisin' around the neighborhood

Can you tell who is on the cake? Great job Uncle Nate!





Not a happy face, but she finally tolerated it without looking like we were torturing her!


At Red Robin


She got her own basket of fries to lick! She was in heaven!

Wow! Three years old! She was really enjoying her day. Man, I wish when you all were little we had a push handle for the back of the trike...would've saved a lot of backaches leaning down to push..lol. And the cake is very impressive Nate! You're very creative! Wonderful video...especially the ending...added a nice touch. Happy Birthday again little Marissa! Lots of hugs & kisses from Nana & PaPa
