It's hard to believe how fast the time has gone, but Luci is officially 3 years old! Here is a little bit about this girl I love so much:
Favorite Color: Pink. Everything for her birthday had to be pink (balloons, tablecloth, crepe paper)
Favorite Activities: Hide and Seek, Legos, reading books, doing homework with Dad, Helping Mom cook, dancing, and playing with friends.
Favorite Foods: Cereal, cheese, chocolate milk, cucumbers, oranges, grapefruits, eggs,hashbrowns, pancakes, peanut butter, and yogurt. (she has become less picky lately and I'm loving it!)
Favorite Songs: ABC's, I am a Child of God, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and Everybody Dance Now.
Luci is such a sweetheart and very sensitive to the needs of others. She's great at cheering me up and kissing my owies better. Although sometimes stubborn, she is good at listening and I'm able to reason with her most of the time. She's my drama queen and I often find her practicing faces in the mirror. One of my favorite things is when she tells me she loves me out of the blue.
Luci was so excited to open her presents, but I made her wait until after breakfast before she could. The cradle we gave her I found by a dumpster in really good shape. I washed it up and thought she would love it. But, since it wasn't wrapped, she was sure that it wasn't a present and therefore wasn't excited about it. Oh well, at least it was free!
Birthday breakfast: Hashbrowns, eggs, and a snowman shaped pancake (use your imagination).
Luci was very excited about her very own umbrella.
One of Luci's favorite things was making her cake. She had a lot of fun, but it definitely took a lot of patience on my part. By the time we were done, the kitchen was a disaster and she was covered with batter and frosting. She insisted on using her own beaters to mix the cake batter (don't worry I thoroughly washed them before she used them).
This was our first attempt. I knew there was a reason I bought three cake mixes.
And here is her cake. If you can't tell, it is supposed to be a lego. It's hard to believe I took a cake decorating class. It's been so long I don't remember anything I learned.
When I went to check on Luci about about an hour after putting her to bed, this is what I found. She fights sleep until she absolutely can't anymore so it is pretty common to find her with a book on her face or a toy in her hand (all things she gets into after I put her to bed).

The next day we had a lunch party with friends. Per Luci's request we had chicken nuggets, French fries, chocolate milk, apple slices and carrots (I threw those last two in). Luci had a lot of fun playing with friends and ate way too many cupcakes. .
