Tyler LeAnn turns 3

Tyler turned 3 at 1:50 am-and we all Happily slept through the moment. Although I love Gilmore Girls and the thought of calling your child at the exact time they entered the world, 2 am is not mine nor Tyler's happy time. Tyler's happy time is generally 20 minutes after she wakes up until she falls asleep. She is such a happy child who thrives on the happiness of others, especially her family. She loves to share, see you smile, hear you laugh, and give you big hugs.

We woke up and found a letter from Dad to which she hugged the paper in joy. She then opened a birthday shirt to wear for the day. After opening a gift from her cousins she spent the morning singing her love of birthdays and anxiously waiting for her Dad to come home so she could open the rest of her gifts. There was a 20 minute time period when I was dealing with a meltdown from a sibling when she then informed me she didn't like "angry" parties and then proceeded to pretend to call her Papa on a plastic phone and tell him that she didn't like angry parties-is that considered tattling on me to my dad? I thought I'd outgrown that kind of thing.

Once Dad finally made it home and we had dinner we called our grandparents and had a party via phone & the webcam. I don't know that they enjoyed it as much as we did, but I'm so thankful for technology and the extra singing voices.

Tyler was Thrilled with her gifts-pink hot chocolate, candy, new dress, book and 6" twin baby dolls in a pink backpack. (McKenna was still trying to talk her out of one of the dolls and the backpack after we tucked them in bed).

We are thrilled to have Tyler a part of our family, at times she seems so much wiser than her 3 years. Tyler brings such joy to our hearts, she is always quick to remember her Heavenly Father and continually strives to maintain peace in our home.

Happy Birthday Tyler!
