Birthday Princess

Burgundy had a fun birthday today!   We just hung out and had (another) lazy day – the best kind!

This morning we opened presents from Nana & Papa (or Wapa & Lady as Burgundy calls them) and Aunt Jen, Uncle Adam & Sydney.  Finn got a big carrying case full of hot wheels cars (which he immediately lined up in a row) & ice skates (!).  And Burgundy got an adorable skirt & sweater outfit and a wonderful little princess outfit – cape (which she wore all evening), dress, shoes, tiara and even wings with LED lights!  Later she opened our presents which included a sweater with a picture of Rigby (well a Scottie, but it’s a black dog, so close enough!) another sweater dress, a puzzle complete with sounds and a cool little pixie doll.  We had pizza for dinner & yummy cupcakes.  Then the kids got to take a bath with the dog.  Which is kinda gross really, but they loved it – ha! 

 

Burgundy has a ton of stuffed animals and she needs every one in her bed at bedtime.  She will ask for each one by name.  Here we have: mermaid, kitty, whale, teddy bear (which she calls baby), doggy, baby, bunny, pixie, puppy, bunny bear & pumpkin kitty.  I keep trying to hide a few, but she asks for them if they are not present, tonight we were missing baby (bear) and bunny.  She couldn’t go to sleep until they were safe in her bed!

So Happy Birthday, Burgundy!  We are so lucky to have our little Leelo.  She is a ray of sunshine and a great person.  So loving and generous with her wonderful big brother.  And such a funny little girl.  She makes me laugh every day.  She loves to play dress-up with clothes and jewelry, loves clothes with Owls on them and asks to wear them everyday, loves to play trains and cars with Finn, loves to cuddle with daddy and makes our happy family complete.  How lucky are we??
