Lucy turned three on Thursday. THREE! When did that happen? Below are pictures of her on her first and second birthday.

And this was Lucy on Thursday sitting protectively by her farm cake. The cake was a wash but she loved it so that's all that matter. I literally made it out of whatever I had in the house..the barn is made our of a chocolate bar, the hay is dyed coconut, and the fence is made of toothpicks. I stuck some of her farm animals on it with some hay and a mud puddle out of frosting and declared it done. When she saw it in the morning, she said, "its beautiful. its a birfday cake". Then she appropriately sang her very favorite song, "Old Mcdonald Had a Farm" while sitting by it waiting for her party to start, about 10 verses. It was awesome.

Lucy was also very excited for her presents and was not very happy that she had to wait all day to open them. Both sets of grandparents and Kevin's grandma were able to attend. We had pizza and celery with lemonade, her favorite things.

She opened this little stuffed leopard from Isak that he picked our for her a month ago and wouldn't let go of it to open her other presents, so she did it one handed. She got this cute umbrella from my parents along with a lot of toy food, a bath bubble blower, puppets, underwear (I can hope!), barettes, markers, a keepon, stuff for her baby doll and we got her a wagon.

Lucy is so excited for everything so it makes her present opening fun to watch. I love this age when they just love anything and are so grateful. It will be a sad day when its no longer so easy to please them.

She loved the umbrella and has tried to go to sleep with it. She also has used the wagon to store her ever growing zoo of animals and this morning spent an hour sitting in it singing every song she knows to them.

At three, Lucy has quite the personality and assumes everyone loves her and is not shy at all. She loves to sing and really enjoys nursery at church. She sings all day long and likes to sit in her crib by herself and play with her animals. Oh yes, she is still in a crib because well, until recently, she didn't know how to get out and would just wait for us to come get her every morning. Loves to torment Isak and is really good at it. Likes to wear her frog boots. Will answer a definite "yes" or "no" when I ask her a question. Will randomly ask for hugs during the day and ask to hold Edyn. Loves her nana and gramma campbell and her "bepas'. Likes to paint and eat play-dough.

Loves angry birds and asks to watch angry bird videos on you tube. Loves to talk to herself in the mirror. Still in diapers with no desire to be potty trained, we're working on that. Loves to play with other kids and Isak's friends, jump on the trampoline, go for walks in the stroller. Pretty naughty, we use timeout a lot but she's just so darn cute.

Love this sweet girl and I can't wait to find out what the next year will bring!!
