Happy birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today is Elsie Rose's 3rd birthday!!!

We love you SO MUCH "Helsie"!!!

She loves dress-up and jewelry - she asks us to put bobby pins on her ears, and those are her "earrings"!!

She is such a good big (and little!) sister - she's always playing with Anja, and can't wait for baby Jake to be born!!
