Lydia turned 3 the same day as the half marathon. Originally we were going to celebrate her birthday on saturday(the 19th) so I wouldn't have to worry about it after my run. Unfortunately, Brad ended up having to work saturday so we had one big awesome sunday! Most birthdays for our kids we keep pretty small. We have done the big party thing and it is just too overwhelming for them and lets face it our house is not huge and we can never count on the weather being nice enough to be outside. This year it rained all day. Lydia's main present from us this year was a bike and helmet. She is loving sitting on it so far in the house:) We need this rain to go away so she can really ride it.
The main excitement of the day was a visit from a "real" princess. Brad works with a woman who's daughter is one of the forest festival princesses this year. She was out doing one of her duties before the party and offered to stop by afterwards and hand out tiaras to all of the girls. The loud crazy girls suddenly turned silent and had nothing to say. I know they loved it because she was all they could talk about once she left. Lydia keeps saying the princess gave this to me. Laila keeps telling me she wants a princess to come to her next birthday party. I am going to have to let her down gently. I don't think there are any princesses around in September. Here are some pictures of all the fun!
