"Pincess Merman"

Harper celebrated her 3rd birthday with friends a few weeks ago.  She has talked non-stop about her "pincess merman" party since the invitations went out mid-October.  The morning of her party, she was bouncing off the walls with excitement.

Nope... I did not make the cake. 
The nice ladies at Price Chopper did!

Will and I gave Harper a couple of special presents
to get her ready for the party. 
Q kept trying to take them,
so H sat on one while she opened the other.

She has mastered the art of making a "3" with her fingers.

Wearing the Princess Mermaid costume and crown
 that Mom and Dad got her for the party.

She was SO excited about the "merman" tail she had.

Yes that is a bracelet around her ears. 
She likes to put them on as earrings.

Coloring mermaid and shark pictures until all her friends arrived.

Playing "catch the bubbles". 
Q kept throwing them out of the swimming pool.

Can't believe our little princess is three.  She is sweet, clever, fearless, artistic, always well accessorized, girlie, funny... doesn't have a shy bone in her body.  She gives the greeters at church, or as she calls it, "Jesus' House" hugs every Sunday when we get there.  The girl can win over anyone with those long eyelashes and perfect little smile.  We love her and the joy she brings to our lives.
