Every Day's A Blessing: Angels and Birthday Fun

Our day began with a Christmas play at Jocelyn and Molly's preschool. It was very sweet and well done, as it is every year. Both my girls were angels and sang as sweetly as any angel ever has.

Jocelyn is always so excited to get to perform for her loved ones (this smile was for Daddy)

In addition, today my "baby" Molly turned three years old. Three!! It's amazing to believe it's been three years since I was stressing out about having a Christmas baby and ruining someone's Christmas by dumping my older two on them. Molly had us prepping for the worst, then arrived at the most convenient time possible - the perfect third child. Three years later it seems not much has changed - Molly spent much of her day being toted around to her big sisters' activities, but we made sure there was time focused just on her as well. Ava and Jocelyn broke out into "Happy Birthday" songs at least once every 10 minutes or so all day long. It was a race to see who could share first with anyone they encountered that it was Molly's birthday today. It was a busy day as most Wednesdays are, but we took time out to have dinner together, share in some cupcakes, and watch Molly open a few presents. It was a great day to celebrate this spunky, silly, dramatic, high maintenance, independent, stubborn, sweet ball of energy we were blessed to have join our family three years ago.
