Today is Amaya's 3rd Birthday and I couldn't be more proud of how much she is learning and coming into her own. This last 3 years has been a learning experience for all 3 of us but we are glad we are doing it together. We become stronger and stronger, together, each day.
Raising children, by no means, is easy but my daughter makes it enjoyable (most of the time lol) and both Eric and I are so grateful to have her in our lives. She, truly, is both of us put into one.
A note to Amaya:
We love you and will always be there for you. We will continue to be the best role models so that you can have the best opportunity in life. And we will always have your back no matter what.
For your 3rd birthday we went to grandma and grandpa's lake house at Bad Medicine Lake in Minnesota and celebrated your birthday with: grandma, grandpa, auntie tara and uncle rick, your cousins Kendall and Jaxon (and we cant forget maggie and pacey). We had balloons, ice cream cake, and presents. The weather wasn't the best but Saturday was decent enough to play outside. Auntie Tara brought stuff to make bird feeders and both you and Kendall loved every minute of it. Although it wasn't anything extravagant you had a blast. You just love being with family and having people to get attention from (lol).
Here are some pictures from the Birthday Weekend:
