Happy Happy Birthday Sadie!!

Happy happy happy third birthday to our flower girl Sadie Quince. Sadie is my cousin Julie's daughter and is, quite frankly, the most beautiful child on the face of the earth. But there's more to this little tyke than just blond ringlets. She is absolutely HYSTERICAL. Christopher and I went to visit on Sunday to watch the Superbowl and I couldn't get a word in because it was constantly, "hey Kristi" with that cute little lisp.

Sadie will be four by the time we get married so she'll be just the right age to toss down some petals and drastically improve the beauty of the wedding album. Julie and I asked her this weekend if she was going to wear a beautiful dress at the wedding and she stopped, thought pensively for a moment, and replied, "naah - I think I'll wear a sweatshirt." Much to her dismay, Jules and I have already picked out 87 dresses for her so the sweatshirt is out.

Some Beautiful Things About Sadie Quince

1. She is so loving.
   
2. She is perfectly fine playing alone for awhile and then it's "hey mama. MAMA."
3. She never stops talking - definitely a Graft girl.
4. She runs - all the time. Just runs in circles. You would think it would wear her out but it doesn't. She could go for hours.
5. She is gorgeous (see photos).
6. She is so smart. Yeah - every family member thinks THEIR kid is the smartest but she really is top notch. Her vocabulary is out of this world and she comes up with the craziest things sometimes.
7. Her imagination. Scribbles come with markers and oh, remember that time she rode on the back of a seal lion? Yeah - that was a little squishy.
8. She is hysterically funny.
9. Along those lines - she has the best giggle.
10. Ok, so it's basically Joey. Beauty, brains and humor. Where do these people get it?!?!

So cheers to our little one who is finally 3!! Have the best birthday EVER, Sadie, and I'm sorry that I can't be at your tea party tomorrow. CHRISTOPHER AND I LOVE YOU!!


Oh - and is it wrong to be jealous of a toddler's clothes? Because if it is, who wants to be right?? (Both pictures by Julie)
