This is how I found her sleeping one morning.
Painted her own face.
"Dorothy Hair"
Jake and Boxer
She made me take this picture.
With her valentines from school.
Her first ice cream float.
Matching jammies
Another picture she made me take.
We surprised her with Curious George Live.
Giving cousin Charlotte her goodie bag.
With her cousins.
Reservoir Princesses
Playing a game with Papa and her cousins.
Everyone in their jammies before we left Baba and Pa Pa's house.
Some quiet play after a lot of running around.
This is apparently what 3 years olds do on Christmas morning now.
I remember playing with my stick in the backyard.
With the "lay down stroller" she was hoping to get.
Dr. Funke giving Jake a check up. She decided that his ear needed to be amputated.
Jake wearing one of her pom pons.
Baby Goofy is her all time favorite episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse so Santa stopped by Disney World to pick this up for her.
Checking on the milk and cookies in the morning.
She really liked the grocery store Daddy built for her.
Putting out the milk and cookies before bed. She's never wanted to go to bed as badly as she did on Christmas Eve. Santa Claus should stop by our house every night.
Aunt Moira and Uncle Paul got her an iguana for Christmas. Here he is with the rest of her lizard family.
Aunt Mary Ellen finally has a second in command to help her pass out presents.
Posing under the tree before getting ready for bed.
Pretending to fall asleep with Grandma Carroll at Christmas Eve Eve dinner.
Didn't take enough before pictures. Actually, this is the only one.
A little hook on the side for grocery bags. We went around to Jewel, Dominicks and Whole Foods (the FANCY grocery store) to get a reusable bag from each one. Made a little extra space on the side for the register.
Sheves in the back for boxes and other food.
Bins for fruits and vegetables. The side and the sign on top were primed with a magnetic primer that didn't work as well as I would have liked. The magnetic letters we bought were too heavy for it and it won't hold them up.
Helping Roberta (who she kept calling Great Grandma for some reason) open her present.
Looking for characters on the character tree.
She kept coming back to this village to look at the rides. Here she is waiting for her favorite horse to come around on the merry go round.
Operating the train under the craft tree.
Ben proving that the rails in the church aren't up to code.
