We have a big weekend planned for our sweet girl. Tonight we are celebrating Valentine's with Dada. Heath made us his fettuccine alfredo! It's unbelievable and I usually only get it once a year. I could just eat the alfredo sauce with a spoon. Who needs the noodles?
Tomorrow afternoon was supposed to be our big family birthday party. Ella's cousin Zach has a birthday 4 days after hers, so we always have a combined party for them and it's always so much fun! But my sweet, precious grandad had a procedure done on his heart this morning and his doctor told him just today that he couldn't travel for 3 days. So we are postponing our family b-day celebration until next Saturday.
Heath has to work on Valentine's night, so Ella and I are going to stay home and make birthday cookies to take to her Sunday School class Sunday morning, which is her actual birthday!
On her actual birthday, Sunday, we really don't have a lot planned, except for a ton of extra love and attention! And hopefully I don't go through an entire box of kleenex as I remember what that day was like 3 years ago and how teeny tiny my 4lb 15oz peanut was.
This video pretty much sums up our year with her. She's is so full of life, excitement and fun with a lot of sweetness mixed in! Everyday she amazes us. The video was actually taken about 5 months ago.
The dress she is wearing is one of my Martha Miniatures that I had when I was her age. My mom kept a bunch of them and they are all so cute.
Ella started singing this song about a year ago and the first time she sang it I about died when she sang, "I may never march in the appletree." You'll have to watch! It's moments like this when I think, life can't get much better than this.

I can't believe Ella's 3! I meant to text you yesterday, but I forgot and now it's Monday! I hope she had a sweet b-day weekend! We're excited about next weekend! I'm just as emotional about 3...and already thinking about 4!!! What's wrong with me?!
This video is too cute!! I love that she just kept going and going and when she fell, I was wondering if she hurt herself then she got up and kept on going! It made me laugh!!! ~Rebecca
