happy {3rd} birthday, my sweet Autumn

On August 21st, my sweetie pie, Autumn Ellen, turned 3 YEARS OLD!

Where the last three has have gone is beyond my comprehension.

It went by so stinkin' fast!

Autumn is such a happy spirit in our home and lives.

She is constantly making us laugh with her funny personality and cute, little voice.

She is a great big sister and is so good about sharing with Abbey.

I just can't imagine what my life was before Autumn!

Autumn's favorite things:

• playing Barbie's (she got a new Barbie house for her birthday)
• putting her Barbie Dolls and baby dolls to "sleep" with a pillow and a grippie (blanket)
• playing hide n' seek with anyone who will take the time to play it with her
• coloring very beautiful and colorful pictures for Mommy (which I must hang on my bulletin board)
• watching any and all Disney movies, especially princess ones
• cooking dinner with Mommy
• going to church, especially nursery
• calling Daddy on the phone while he's at work

and best of all...

laying a grippie on the grass in the front yard and looking at the stars with Mommy and Daddy

I don't know what John and I did to deserve such a sweet and special little spirit, but we are so incredibly blessed to have Autumn as our daughter and in our eternal family.

I love you, sweet girl!

XOXO, Mommy
