SuperSimone Turns Three!

Our little baby is officially three-years-old!  Simone Elizabeth had a superhero birthday complete with her favorite cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmas and grandpa.  The mandatory dress code included capes, masks and other superhero gear.  The weather was perfect, Dirk's smoked ribs were delicious and the kids had a blast.  Simone told us that her favorite part of the party was when everyone sang "happy birthday" in her honor.  This is a child who definitely does not shy away from the limelight.  

Simone's big gift was a new playhouse for the yard.  Dirk and his foreman, Tim, spent 3 hours swearing and re-drilling key holes in order to put the playhouse together.  I was sent on the mission for balloons, a birthday sign and flowers for the tiny planters.  When Dirk brought Simone home from school, she skipped into the yard yelling "a playhouse, a playhouse, it's my birthday!"  Needless to say, the playhouse is a big hit.

Happy 3rd Birthday Simone Elizabeth, our little spitfire.  We love you to the moon and back!
