Myla turns 3

The end of Halloween means one thing: it's time for Myla's birthday! It's really cliche to say that "time flies" but really, I have a three year old? When did that happen??

While getting ready for Myla's third birthday, we all had a wonderful surprise. Sweet little Kalena Lynn Thomas decided she was ready to join us and was born on November 4th; the day before Myla! We are all so happy for the new mommy and daddy, Shannon and Ashley. I'm so glad that I could be here in America during this time and meet the newest member of our family.

Here she is!

Some day soon I will get a picture of all six cousins (3 boys, 3 girls!) together.

To celebrate Myla's birthday, we took her to Chuck E Cheese. We started out by letting the kids run around and play and win lots of tickets!

 Then we got to watch the show while we ate pizza, cupcakes and ice cream. Yum!

Ainsley loves cake!

Such sweet cousins!

 And, like any diva, she had to have a wardrobe change during her party. Thanks, Shannon, for the cute outfit! She LOVES it!

This is Myla in one of her gifts, a Merida dress complete with bow and arrow set! She is actually pretty good at it :)

I am the luckiest person in the world to have sweet Myla as a daughter, and my life has been blessed by her for three years now. I hope she had a wonderful birthday. I am looking forward to all of the birthdays we have ahead of us!
