Melanie's 3rd Birthday!

We had Melanie's 3rd birthday party a couple of days ago, on her actual birth day, July 8th. The theme was a "princess tea party." We really appreciate everyone who took time out of their schedules to celebrate with us. Also, thanks to those of you who donned their royal robes for the event. :-)





After going to bed around 10:30pm that night, Melanie decided she would wake me up extra early to open all her new toys so that she could play with them. The pictures looked pretty blurry when I took them, but seem to have turned out okay. (I guess my contacts were still dry from sleeping in them.)
