Happy Birthday Sophie!!!

We had a fantastic birthday party for Sophie today! All the family came and Sophie was inundated with presents. We borrowed a bouncy house from Andrew's colleague Natasha and Sophie and Luci jumped their little hearts out. So much so that Sophie was a little pooped by the time present opening rolled around but she certainly rallied! You will see that she got a lot of princess/tutu dress up clothes which of course she had to wear immediately. We barely managed to get her to let go of the tiara and wand for bed. She also got (among other things) a doll house which was a huge hit with both girls, lots of clothes (real, not dress up), an awesome tunnel tent, an Ariel barbie, a whole set of babydoll accessories, lots of books, a toy chest, and a seed kit for Sophie to garden with. Needless to say, Sophie is a very lucky girl and looking at all this loot is making Mommy and Daddy a little sick to think that Christmas is just about six weeks away!! It was a big, big day. We can't believe Sophie is three already!

Sophie blowing out the candles on the Nemo cake - Nemo was Sophie's request!

Nemo was totally Daddy's creation - Mommy takes no role in the cake baking in this family, so Daddy gets all the credit for this masterpiece!

Both girls loved the doll house.

The girls in princess attire playing with the new set of Disney princesses -- how appropriate!!

Sophie and her Nonnie - the greatest great grandmother in the whole world who looks AWESOME after just finishing six weeks of radiation! We love you Nonnie!

Sophie in full princess dress- she was turning everyone and everything into princesses with her magic wand!

The girls really loved the bouncy house!!

And a straggler picture from Halloween - our camera was broken that day so that's why we haven't posted lots of pics yet - we will do a belated post when we get other people's pictures!!

Happy Birthday Sophie! You are such a big girl and we love you so much!

Love,

Kate, Andrew and Sophie
