Layla's Third Brithday!

Yesterday was Layla's birthday. We had a lot of fun. Grandma Christensen and Aunt Mindy came up to celebrate it with her. They got up here on Wed and left earlier today. We had been planning on going to the Linder Farms pumpkin patch to get pumpkins, and were glad that it stopped raining just long enough for us to go. It was lots of fun. Layla rode the kiddie cow tractor and played on the inflated slides. After she was finished with that, which wasn't long enough according to her, we went to the pumpkin patch and picked our pumpkins. Hazel really enjoyed the tractor ride that took us to and from the fields. The kids were pretty tuckered out by the time we headed home. When we got home we had some of Layla's swimming pool cake that Elsie made. Layla had been asking all day long for the cake. We opened her remaining presents after cake. For her birthday, and throughout the course of the week, Layla got a scooter, some rolling luggage, some Sunday clothes, books, games, puzzles, skates and cards. He was very excited with all of her gifts, but tossed aside the money that she got in her pretty cards. Isn't it usually the other way around? Anyways, thank you to everyone that helped to make her feel special on her birthday. She is already looking forward to her next one.

Elsie, darling cake!
Looks like you all had fun helping Layla celebrate her big 3! Wish we could have been there too!
Give her a big hug and tell her how much we love her. Give "mini Jusitn" a big squeeze too! With Hazels hood on it is unreal how much she looks like Justin! But Elsie, you did say one time how cute justin was when he was dressed like a girl!
WE love you all!
