Our Little Elfie (her nickname) is Three!

Our little Elsie is three!  It's hard to believe it's been three years already!  For her birthday Mike and I took Elsie out on a special dinner date with no siblings (thanks Dave and Julie for babysitting the others).  When I told her we would dress up for a date and get pretty she very dramatically poofed her hair up with both hands and said, "poo hair, poo hair".  She obviously thinks getting pretty means poofing hair. :)  On our date we took Elsie to Red Robin and she wore her beautiful new outfit from Papa John and Memaw Shirley.  She even wore a bit of lip gloss and carried her purse.  The photo just above is her face when the Red Robin workers were singing "Happy Birthday" to her.  She was very serious about it. 

Since she's turned three Elsie has informed me she won't be wearing bibs or pull-ups or drinking from sippies anymore.  Hmmm, we'll see.

Here's a photo of our sweet girl at a few days old.  Yes, I did have her in a boy outfit.  Third child takes what they can get :)

This is called "consuming with gusto"
