Paizlei Turns 3

Our sweet little Paizlei turned 3 last Saturday (12/17/11)!  I am still trying to wrap my head around that one.  I keep telling myself she shouldn't be 3 yet.  That day 3 years ago, was a complete whirlwind of craziness, tears, pain, heartache.  3 years later, who would know she was only 4 pounds at birth, only 17"...2 months early?  Today, she is 36 pounds, which puts her in the 85% for her weight, as well as 85% for her height...very well proportioned little lady.

Paizlei is so full of life.  She is our spunky, sassy, temper tantrum throwing, loving, happy little lady.  She has blessed our family so much and we are so grateful to be chosen to be her parents.

Here are a few pictures from her BIG day...

 Getting ready for her BIG day!  She insisted on having pretties on her fingernails and toenails.

Daddy took Hunter down to Family Dollar find something to give Paizlei for her birthday.  He even raided his own piggy bank to pay for it.  He got her some fingernail polish for little girls, as well as lip gloss, lip stick and body glitter.  He's such a sweet BIG brother!

 Hunter even wrapped his presents for Paizlei.  Cute?  Yes!

 My super cute nephew Kyler came to her birthday party  I thought his tag was absolutely adorable and had to take a picture of it!

 Her purple cupcakes.  My sweet Mom asked me who made the cupcakes.  HA! ME, of course!!!  My Mom said they looked like someone had done them professionally.  I had to laugh, because I didn't think they looked THAT good! I LOVE my Mom!  And, I decided I LOVE piping cupcakes...so fun and so easy!

Paizlei's birthday cupcakes!

 She was SO excited to blow out the candle!  She didn't want to wait for everyone to finish singing "Happy Birthday"!

Hunter, Paizlei, Paislee, Riker and Kyler.  Also in attendance, Grandma & Grandpa Young, Grandma & Grandpa Black, Grandma & Grandpa Vincent, Great Grandma & Grandpa Despain, Aunt Ginger and cousin Wyatt.

 Grandma & Grandpa Vincent gave her this adorable princess dress-up kit.  She was so excited to put everything on.  She didn't want to take the earrings off for bed.  She wore her pretty slippers for days after.  She LOVES it!  Funny thing is, she has other princess dress-up stuff...something new, I guess.

Happy Birthday Princess!  Mommy, Daddy and Hunter LOVE you and we are SO blessed to have you in our family!
