Tatum turns 3!!!

AHHH!!! I'm dying here! There is NO WAY that my baby girl is 3!!! I swear she should be like 18 month at most!!!

Well...now she' the big 3 years of age. She is very much a girly girl. She is soo lovable and definitely the sweetest of all our kids. She is always ready to give hugs and kisses. Dad is not allowed to leave for work without giving her the required "5 Tatum kisses." If he does, HE WILL HEAR about if for days!!! Here's video of how it all goes--1st: kiss 2nd: Nose (bunny kisses) 3rd: Eyes (Butterfly kisses) 4th: Ears (made up by her) 5th: Hair (also made up by her) and then it all ends with a hug. Yes...every day this MUST be done. But it's pretty cute and Dad doesn't mind too much (unless he's running a little late:)

So for her birthday she decided that everything was to be "Garbies!" Which means "Barbies." Yes, she loves those dang dolls!!! So I don't consider myself a cake decorator by any means but I was pretty proud of this cake. It turned out rather well if you ask me!

We had a fun evening on her actual birthday. I asked her where she wanted to eat to which she said, "McDonalds...DUH mom!" (Yeah....she says "DUH" more to me than anyone else--it's giving me a complex!!! Am I really that dense?!) So it was off to McDonalds (DUH) and then we came home and had "Garbie" cake and ice cream. She opened all of her presents and was quite pleased with all her loot. (The crown she is wearing is the "Birthday Crown." It's been in the Knoop family for years!!! We had to wear it at every birthday. My kids love looking at my old birthday pics with me wearing the beloved crown:)



We had such a great time. I am soo grateful to have this little girl in my life. I love her SOO stinkin' much! Happy Birthday Tatum!!!
