With all three of our children having their birthdays right on top of a holiday, P.'s is definitely going to be the most challenging to truly celebrate. Born on Thanksgiving Day, I had a lot to be thankful for this year ... including
not being in labor! (Sorry for the joyful exaltation to all of my soon-to-deliver friends, but when Macy's parade started I was absolutely giddy that I didn't have Pitocin running through my veins at that moment and didn't have to demand that the TV be shut off because the Sesame Street float was grating my nerves.) We stayed in town for Thanksgiving so we were able to have a little party for her and my parents came in for the weekend. Here are some photo highlights and a video to enjoy. The video is of a birthday card being opened for the first time and her reaction to it (thanks, Aunt Jayme ... the girls are still playing with it!).
My favorite thing to do with P. is just watch her from across the room. When she catches me watching her, her entire face lights up and she gets a huge smile on her face knowing that she wasn't overlooked or forgotten. I hope she grows up to know that she is worthy of such secret admiration! She is such a sweet, sweet girl. I hope this next year only brings out more sweetness in her little personality. Happy birthday, Sweet P. We love you!
Birthday dinner—pizza, pizza, pizza!

S.'s reaction when she was told none of the presents were for her. =)
