Rhyse is Three

Brielle and Keiton are getting independent and loved to sneak out and jump in the turtle pool when we were inside.  

Capriel was in charge of the "dancing" (like Rapunzel's village square dance)  Little girls donned beautiful dresses and the tall ones acted as princes.  It was fun!

Rhyse loves to fly lately and is always asking me to "help her fly"

We did some face painting (Here is one Talia did of Rapunzel)

Rhyse took her turn very seriously and carefully worked for sometime until almost all my face was covered.  

 

Rhyse with her special cake.  The tower began to lean towards the end of the night, but it was really impressive in person.  Rhyse had chicken nuggets, broccoli, and rice pilaf for her dinner.  She loves broccoli and this rice dish.
We spent the rest of the day running out to work on Rhyse's one present-a sandbox.  Brigette and I built it and it is currently sitting on the grass waiting for us to get the time and muscles to dig out the hole so we can have some sand delivered.  I believe that every happy childhood has a sandbox, so this has been a fun project to work on for her.
Happy Birthday Rhyse!  We love you so much!
