The Birthday Girl

Sara Emily Goodrich turned 3 years old on July 23, 2011. There is something so fun about celebrating the birth of your child. We started her birthday off right by waking up and opening her presents from us first thing in the morning. She got a play tent, a kite, a play tea set, some squinkies and a scooter. She was pretty excited! Then we headed to Jungle Jim's for some rides. Both girls were pooped and we headed home to give them a nap before her birthday barbecue.
We invited the family up for a bbq, presents, and cake & ice cream. Sara would open a present and Della would get excited and play with it, she'd open another one, and Della would do the same thing. It was pretty cute.Sara was pretty excited about her flower birthday cake. After blowing out the candles she followed me over and started taking finger fulls of frosting off and eating it. Della thought the cake was pretty yummy too... Sara is our little go getter who isn't afraid to get dirty, pick up spiders and bugs, or help daddy's black toes. She loves scary things like monsters, snakes, spiders, ghosts, and skeletons. She also loves watching shows like trauma in the ER and 48 hours mystery with us. She's the girl who laughs instead of cries when we have to put drops in her eyes, and the girl who'd rather drink water than juice. She's the girl who actually wants to take naps and go to bed and asks us to wipe the boogers from her nose. Her favorite food is toaster strudels, Her favorite colors are pink and green, her favorite holiday is Halloween. She's always telling me she loves daddy and Kyle and will randomly come up to me and say "I'm so happy Mom" and give me a hug.We have been so blessed to have this little girl in our lives these past three years. Even though she can be a little different at times... that's what makes her Sara! I am so glad I had her first 'cause I know she will be the best big sister. We love you Sar! Have fun being 3!
