I have joked with Steve that Lucy has celebrated her birthday approximately 200 times in the last two weeks. Between Nana's visit, our visit to Cookie and Grumps' house, and her celebration at school on Monday, Lucy has been made well aware of her birthday.
Today we started with a visit to our favorite local establishment, the diner.

We then went to Lucy's soccer game. You can see the highlights (and lowlights)
here.
We then came home to regroup - and by "we" I really mean the adults more than the kids.

After lunch while Lucy and Caroline took a MUCH needed nap, Steve and I went out to get some gardening supplies and a cake for Lucy. I would like to say that I made the cake myself (like the awesome
cake that Cookie made), but alas, I am not that crafty and I am super lazy to boot. So, Steve had the honor of going to the counter and asking the 20 year old guy working if he could have the "yellow princess cake." I guess he didn't want to admit that he knew it was Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Here he is proudly displaying our purchase:

| This man loves princess cakes. |
Once the girls woke up, we gave Lucy our big birthday present for her: a basketball hoop. After our soccer woes, we worried that Lucy wouldn't want to do anything athletically oriented but we were pleasantly surprised. Lucy loved it and played with it for a long time.
 |
| Jordan-esque |
We headed inside to eat dinner, have cake, and open some presents.
 |
| Steve was being obnoxious with the camera. I am unimpressed. |
 |
| Belle! |
 |
| She loved it. |

Don't mind my shoulder taking up half of this picture. She
leaned into the cake and almost set her hair on fire. |

Lucy loved her presents, and Caroline loved grabbing them and
calling them her own. |
It was a great day and now everyone is in bed. Here's hoping that 4 is kinder to us than 3 was.
