Birthday Girl Natalya!

Ten Things I Love about You!

• You are so loving. You are always telling me "I love you too" even if I haven't told you yet that I love you.

• You still love your blanky.

• You are such a great friend to your sister and brother. You are willing to share and play with them.

• You are able to play all by yourself. You have fun for hours just playing in your room with your barbies.

• I love that you enjoy the water and are learning to swim.

• You love doing your workbook, just like your big sister. You are trying so hard to learn to write and recognize your letters and numbers.

• Love all the cute things you say Winkle Dar (Twinkle Star), Marder (Marcus), shap (clap) etc.

• Your willingness to always help out mom.

• What a happy little girl that you are becoming. Lots of smiles and laughs.

• Very curious and always want to know what we are doing or where we are going.

Natalya turned 3 while we were visiting Grandma & Papa. We started Natalya's special day off with the traditional birthday donut breakfast. Unfortunately they weren't Carol Lee donuts or any other fresh made, we had to go with what ever we could find and that was small powdered just like Papa likes.

Later that morning we went to the Children's Museum with Julie and her kids and ended the day with a Dora birthday party. Lots of friends came to help celebrate Natalya's birthday, my sister Erin and her boyfriend Mark and their dog Jeff, Julie and her family, Connie and RC and a few of Mike's relatives including great grandma Robison and grandma Kennedy.

Natalya was very good to make sure Marcus didn't fall out.

She kept her arm around him the whole time.

Natalya and her birthday cupcakes.

Natalya got a princess balloon from Coleman for her birthday and she didn't want to let go of it. You can just see the ribbon but she wouldn't even put it down to eat her cake.
