Happy 3rd Birthday Sweet Zuri!!

Today is Zuri's 3rd birthday.  I say it every year, but I cannot believe how fast time is flying.  Zuri is growing into such a little lady - a smart little lady.  We started the morning with some phone calls, texts, and even FaceTime with Papaw John!  We also opened 1 gift - the Frozen soundtrack so we listened to it on the way to school (meaning, we listened to "Let it Go" about 5 times). 

I left work early to take cupcakes to school for snack.  Zuri's friends were so excited when I arrived with the cupcakes!  After the cupcakes, we sat on the carpet for a story read by Ms. Genny.  Max wanted to sit right by me and Zuri.  He's so cute! 

When we got home, it was time to open the rest of Zuri's gifts!  She got all Frozen stuff from Mommy and Daddy!  :o)

Grandma & Grandpa Schulz came over and took us to dinner and when we got back home, we watched TV and we took some pictures.  Zuri wanted to take pictures too.  She actually isn't too bad!

This is a picture I took of Zuri taking the picture just after this one!

Here are a couple other pictures I took while Grandma & Grandpa were over.

Aunt Brandii also came by tonight.

Tomorrow is Zuri's birthday party at her dance studio (Stage 1 Dance Academy).  She is very excited!  She is also excited to watch my co-worker's son tomorrow morning.  Logan is 7 months old and is adorable!  Stay tuned for posts about both events!  :o)

I haven't written a note to Zuri in some time, so here we go.

Dear Zuri Lane,

Daddy and I are so very proud to be your parents.  You are such a smart girl.  You never cease to amaze us.  You can almost count to 20.  You know what street you live on.  You know several colors in Spanish.  Your vocabulary is amazing (in our opinion!).  You are also very much a handful!  We wouldn't change a thing though.  One moment, you are being defiant and the next, you are a sweetheart.  Oh, what the teenagers years will be like......  HA!

Some things you enjoy right now:

• Frozen
• Dresses
• Tutus
• Princesses
• Frozen
• Dancing
• Singing
• Baby Dolls
• Frozen
• Music
• FaceTime

Oh, and did I mention the movie, Frozen??  ;o)

This past year brought about a lot of new and exciting things.  You switched schools, had your first road trip, your first overnight stay somewhere without us, you started wearing big girl panties 24/7, watched your first movie in the theaters, and so much more!  We cannot wait to see what the next year brings.

We love you more than you will ever know,
Mommy & Daddy
