We celebrated Sydney's birthday on Monday since Jim was off of work. We were at camp and spent the morning playing and baking. She loved her birthday gifts. Just a few small things to open. She was especially enthralled with her birthday cards. She carried them around with her for days (Aunt Adrien's card came in the mail early). She loved them! It was hysterical.

We were invited over to camp friends' house for homemade ice cream and sparklers. The girls loved the sparklers and enjoyed playing with camp friends. From there we went to southern Lake George to visit Karyn, Jon and Sam at their family camp. Sammy, Sydney and Sawyer had so much fun playing together. They fished on the dock, played with the nasty worms (well, Sydney did). We took a boat ride on Sammy's Grandpa's boat. They have a much larger boat than we do so the ride was so smooth and "way fast." Sydney kept talking about the "huge boat." We had dinner, played some more and then headed back up to our camp for the night.

Fun, fun birthday celebration...
Being a shy girl when daddy was telling her to open the gifts up.

She just loved opening gifts this year!

Pretty impressive cupcakes, if I do say so myself! We didn't end up eating too many of them as we took them to a friends. Sydney isn't a big sweet eater, so she took one or two bites and that was it.

Blowing out her birthday candle. She was so excited.

What a nice way to celebrate such a special little girls birthday. She talked non stop about her birthday and her visit with friends. Looking forward to having a 3 year old and all of the challenges and joys that will bring to our lives.
