Aaliyah's Birthday

Aaliyah just had her third birthday on Monday. My little girl is growing up way too fast! In Oakley every year they have the tradition of sleigh riding down Christmas Street and seeing Santa Clause. This year it fell on Aaliyah's birthday so we thought it would be the perfect way to celebrate. She thought Santa came special for her birthday and to this day she is telling me that "it was the best birthday ever!"

Both of them were scared of Santa that night which surprised me because just the week before we saw Santa at Dallas's work party and Aaliyah went running up to him, but there was a little girl ahead of us that was screaming when she was on Santa's lap so I think that made Aaliyah a little nervous.

So I took one for the team on this picture. I look awful, but everyone else looks good! Besides I had to show a picture of us on the sleigh ride.


I think Adeline was just as excited as Aaliyah was about opening presents!




I love how little kids have to really concentrate to hold their fingers up. It actually does take some coordination.

I'm three!

Here's Aaliyah and her friend Kaylee. They are the cutest little girls!
