When we went into Lydia's room this morning we asked her if she knew what day it was. Still waking up we told her that it was her birthday. She asked us, "Am I three now?" We told her that she was. She asked again, "Am I now?"

For her birthday we got her two things. One was a little toy doll on a bicycle towing a puppy. The other was a ladybug suitcase. She also received a lot of very nice gifts from friends and family (thank you all).

When she opened her ladybug suitcase she said, "A ladybug suitcase!" When asked what she would put in the suitcase she said, "a lot of fruit bunnies." (Her favorite snack.)

This afternoon Lydia had her first real birthday party. It went very well thanks to a ton of hard work by Momma and lots of help from Grandma.

Here are photos from the big day.
