Once upon a time....


Once upon a time there was a darling little girl who was clever and silly and oh-so-sweet. She wished and wished that she could one day, finally, have a birthday of her very own. She patiently waited while her Dad, Mom, and little brother all had their own birthdays. She patiently waited while all of her cousins, and aunts and uncles and grandparents and friends and everyone in the whole world had a birthday.

And then one splendidly lovely day, Amelia Kinsale Lovelace woke up, looked outside, saw her lollipop tree and knew that her birthday had finally, finally arrived.



And what a birthday it was!





Amelia picked lollipops all morning,




baked, designed, and decorated her birthday cake before nap




and played heaps of games all afternoon with her Kiwi friends



(including "Pin the parts on the Amelia").



Everyone partied the day away and Quinn somehow managed to lose his pants, but not his charm.



Amelia thanked her friends for coming to celebrate with her



and everyone snuggled up with a good book and a warm lap.


Happy, Happy 3rd Birthday Our Darling Girl!

Thank you so much for sharing a few pics and the good time Amelia had on her birthday. I have been checking everyday for this and am thinking about all of you and hope things are going well.
Love you all,

Happy Birthday, Amelia!! You are practically a little lady now. How do I get a lollipop tree to grow in MY backyard?

Love, Casey
