Today you turn 3.
how did that happen?
As each day goes by I love you more
and am amazed by you.
you see,
you’re kind of magic.
***
You love to talk
You jump up and down when you know someone is coming
and your curls…oh your curls!
I hope they never go away.
you always say hi to people and have yet to meet a room you didn’t take over
just by the joy of your presence when you walk in.
That’s your nana in you.
You have manners, say please and thanks, and love life, that is her too.
***
You love to have your hair in the wind
close your eyes
yelling “feel it”
You are determined and focused and smart
that’s your pops.
you love a good picking on, thats him too.
***
You love all things that are a game.
whether it be hiding under the covers waiting for a tickle
or closing your eyes right in front of us yelling “find me”
you love to jump and run
that’s your dada…he’s magic too.
***
You have planned your birthday party for months
going around with a catolog saying
“let’s tink about my party”
you color little post its and call them your projects
that’s from me.
you are opinionated, logical, and inquisitive.
and like to stomp your feet.
that’s probably from me too:)
I love every thing about you and more.
happy birthday Lenabean!
xo,
mommy
Shannon – that is such a sweet post. They grow up so fast before you know it she will be 11 – like my son. Where does the time go? Whether they are 3 or 11 – they will always be our babies.
What a beautiful post!! They grow so fast don’t they!! She is as adorable as ever!
Tell beans happy birthday from the hoyt-vinsons! Indie and I bought her half her birthday present today. We’re going back for more tomorrow! The boys will bring them down in a week and a half when they come to visit. Hope you all have a lovely relaxing time at the beach!
oh my sweet lena…
how much fun we do have!
today you are 3…
and we jump up and down!
happy birthday…

Awew Happy Birthday! What a cutie
So beautifully written, oh my and I can see Lena jumping up and down in front of me right now
awwwww Happy Bday Lena! Shannon you are an awesome momma!!!
I hope she has a wonderful Birthday! Love the pictures!
Oh My! She is so cute! I think I got a lil teary eyed on that. That was a wonderful post. Blink and she will be 9 and the years continue to sprint by so fast. It is nice to have a 3 year old to remind me how innocent the 9 year old used to be. =)
Oh gosh, I don’t know her, but I love your Leanbean too! Happy Birthday sweet girl! And I hope you never lose your curls or your spunk!!
beautiful Shannon. Lena is such a lucky little girl to have such an amazing and creative momma like you.
Happy birthday little Lena!!
She is such a cutie! Happy Birthday little girl!
That is SO AWESOME! Happy birthday Beans!
