iphone pics, spending the afternoon together, the day before she turns four. F O U R.
i just love that picture of her. i wish i had my real camera with me. she is such a little dancer daydreamer. that little puddle was part of this whole imaginative story she saw in her head. i love it.
popping in her most absolute favorite shop! (ok not more than toys r us or target but she is just on cloud 9 whenever she goes in this store! she is her grandmother's granddaughter!) little fashionista!
in almost every photo i see of her, i am amazed at how much she's grown and how fast it's gone, etc etc etc. this picture is one of the rare that i could see her little childish 3 year old age. those cheeks! i am really going to miss age three! :(
i just kept hugging her today and saying i can't believe you're four.... and she'd reply, i'm not four YET, silly! :)
her grammies wrote in her birthday card, 'to think we hardly knew you 4 years ago- how can this be?!'
so true, so true! her uncle also wrote that she is delicious. yes that is also so very true :)
can't wait for a week full of celebrating our girl!
time flies. but the time has been amazing, huh? hugs to you.

WOW! I can't believe Elsie is four! I will always remember a picture that you took of her when she was a baby- you had been out for the day and she was in a baby bjorn type thing and she had this adorable delirious-tired smile. It was not long after I first found your blog! I can't believe that was just under four years ago because that picture of her is still so clear in my head!
