Let the good times roll

We're gearing up for Thanksgiving around here.
It's Vic's very favorite holiday.
The festivities kick off with a Thankful Feast at preschool tomorrow,
and then family starts rolling into town.
We can't wait for all of the "f''s" -
family, friends, food, fun and even some football!
But first, here are some pictures of Lexi's birthday fun
as captured by my iphone

With cousin Courtney turning 11 the next day (11/11/11!),

we decided to meet up at the mall and celebrate both birthdays.

There was lunch, shopping, a ride on the indoor carousel and ferris wheel,

and perhaps your favorite part of the day - a trip to the Disney Store.

We won't be seeing Nanny and Grandpa this year for Thanksgiving,

so they made the trip up to have some birthday cake with you.

Ice cream cake it was, and you couldn't have been more excited.

And then there was the celebration at school -

which meant we got to bake cupcakes for your whole class.

You asked to bake some for

the two year olds and four year olds also :)

Like mother, like daughter

Miss Sue makes sure that everyone in the 3's

gets their own birthday party.

And, she invited me to join in the fun.

And finally, on your actual birthday,

we visited the pottery store after school.

Your friend Betsy gave you a gift certificate,

and we had a wonderful time painting ornaments

and creating a plate for all of Santa's cookies.

Happy 3rd Birthday little lady!
