Happy 3rd Birthday Andrina!

Today was Andrina's official 3rd birthday. Tom and I celebrated it by taking her to Brookfield Zoo, then having cake & giving her our presents back home. Here's some pictures from our day, in chronological order:

Us 3 at the dolphin show

Sitting on Dada's shoulders
This was the first time Andrina ever got to see real dolphins.
The look of joy on her face watching them was priceless.

Our most recent family photo, inside Tropic World.

Andrina & I being silly

Burning off some extra energy

This is the second time Andrina has had her picture taken with the kangaroo sculpture,

yet she hasn't seen any kangaroos yet!

Heading home. She just had such a happy look on her face from all the fun

that I had to take a picture.

Thomas the Train birthday cake. He's Andrina's newest favorite friend and she

is really into all things Thomas and trains lately.

Getting ready to blow out the candle.

And I'm such a sucker for my little girl that I had to get her the big

Thomas balloon too.

Being sneaking and thinking I didn't notice you trying to take the

toy off the cake when I told you to be patient!

Opening presents from Momma & Dada.

Dada picked out a bunch of Thomas DVDs

And Andrina gets to have her very own big Gymbo too!

Playing with a new present, a Thomas mega blocks set.

Three years ago today I was so blessed I got to meet the love of my life.

Happy Birthday my sweet baby daughter Andrina.

You are the best thing that ever happened to me and I love you with all my heart and soul.
