Birthdays and Byes

Since Grandma and Grandpa were leaving for their mission 2 weeks shy of Mae's 3rd birthday, we had a birthday celebration before saying our goodbyes.  Mae was a little emotional.  After all the festivities we found she was actually really sick.  The emotional goodbyes went pretty well though.  Good luck on your mission G&G! -T 

Books can calm them down a little bit

Grandpa went a LITTLE overboard with his "dressing up for a birthday party" attire

Mae wasn't totally down with the picture taking (we figured it was the kilt), but come to find out later that night that she was sick and had a 104 degree temperature

Gifts from the grandparents

If she gets a toy tent with dolls as a gift, do you think she'll want her father to ever take her camping?

It must be candle blowing time!

She calmed down enough to have dessert
