Our sweet and crazy Sadie turned three on April 17th! I know I say it every year, but it is amazing that she is 3 already. We celebrated with Grandma and Grandpa Johnson by after Connor's baseball game and her choice for lunch-McDonald's. She opened her presents with her helpful big brother. She got a new doll house with accessories, some princess books, clothes, and lipstick. So fun!
I got lazy this year and ordered her requested Princess Cake-but Sadie loved it! She also specifically requested cookie dough ice cream to go with it.
Getting ready to make a wish!

I love this typical Sadie face!

Happy Girl!
Holding her Cinderella balloon before opening presents-she was very patient to wait until after lunch to open them.
I thought I'd write down a few little things I'd like to remember about Sadie at age 3.
We sure are grateful to have Sadie in our family. She adds a lot of spunk that otherwise would be missing. I'm told by my mom, dad, and grandpa that she reminds them of me when I was little. (Scary thought!) She can be the sweetest girl in the world, and gives the BEST hugs! Her smile and laugh are infectious! She also can dish out some serious attitude that makes me fear for the teen-age years. I am grateful that she is good for others. I am always told that she is an "angel" in nursery, at the gym, and at friend's houses. I guess she saves her "best" behavior for us! I am proud of the way she treats others for the most part and is very good at playing nicely with friends for her age. She is my champion sleeper and rarely if ever has woken us up in the night since before she was one. She still loves her crib and has no desire to move to a big girl bed. Her current interests are princesses (although she is not into dressing up or being called a princess herself at the moment), stuffed animals (especially her little dog from Uncle Lance named Russell), babies, playing with Connor (and other friends), riding around the neighborhood in the wagon (she has a bike, but doesn't want to pedal yet), watching any type of girly movie, and reading books. Her favorite books-and the one's I am sick of- are Pinkalicious, Purpleicious, and our Disney fairytale books. She has them all memorized and it is very cute to see her read them herself or to change the words while we are reading and she will correct us. Her favorite song is I am a Child of God. I really need to get her on tape singing it because she is precious. Sadie has mixed feelings about becoming a big sister. At random times she will lift up my shirt and kiss and hug my "baby" (belly) and say, "I love you baby!" Other times she will say, "I don't want to be a big sister!" We'll see how she does when baby sister arrives. We Love You Sadie!!!!

I love store bought cakes. There is nothing lazy about them!
I was excited to learn you are having a another girl! They will have lots of fun together. You are following our pattern, and I am so happy our girls were together. They are competitive occasionally, but good friends usually. Sadie is too cute!
She is getting so big, so cute, and looking so much like her mother!
