Happy Birthday X3!



Tonight we celebrated the "Merrill family September birthdays", which included my Chelsea (25th), Marrianne (28th) and Brooke (today). Marrianne and John hosted the party at their house. John BBQed some yummy steaks on his new WEBER that was so yummy! Both Grandma and Grandpa Merrill and Clinger came to the celebration. It was fun to get together with family. And I have the best in-laws! I love that they get along with my side of the family so well. Marrianne always teases me that she knew my in-laws before I did. She was is their stake growing up. Chelsea was pretty excited to celebrate her birthday a little early. Chelsea had specific gifts she wanted everyone to get her. I know, a little greedy huh? Oh well, she is only 2 (until Thursday)! She "told" grandma Merrill that she wanted the "big barbie bed." She has been talking about it for months! Every time we were at target, she would point it out and say, "Grandma M is going to get me that bed!" She told Grandma Clinger that she wanted this to go with the barbie bed. Yes, she LOVES barbies! My girls NEVER play in the huge barbie house we have. They always end up just playing on the floor. This little "wall house" is perfect! Best of all it is compact! Yah, for saving space! They had a wonderful little party and Chelsea just loved sharing her day with one of her fav cousins.

I just can't believe my baby will be three on Thursday! THREE!! Here are just a few fun pictures from the party.
