Well, it's already been over a month now since our little girl's birthday and we still can't believe she's 3! Maelee really did turn into a little girl this past year with no semblance of a toddler left... sigh. Her conversations with us, her friends, and her toys both amaze us and crack us up at the same time and she is definitely little Miss Independent with an "I know what I want!" attitude. Whew! Yes, it has been a little exhausting over this past year and sometimes all we can do is just shake our heads at her stubborn defiance.
Or laugh... Like when she yells out "What are you doing, weirdo? Have a rotten day!" as those are two sayings from her books/toys that she knows aren't kind and she wants to say something mean to us. Really hard to just put her in the "naughty corner" and not simply crack up hysterically! Admittedly, it has been a trying year. But even with the strong will and occasional crazed fits, her sweet, joyful spirit could soften our frustration in a heart beat. She is quite an outgoing, happy gal who can make family & friends, and even strangers smile. We praise God for her daily and look forward to another year with this sweet child!

And the THREE Year "Photo Shoot!"
It's always so hard to choose a small handful of photos to represent a whole year! (Couldn't help myself with all the ones from the most recent "photo shoot," though!) It has been quite a year. Lots of special times with family and friends enjoying our city, and enjoying each other. We are so thankful for another great year with our Maelee-Mae!
