Our little girl is now a three year old!
Around midnight on the 7th we had a wicked storm come through. We woke up around 12:30 a.m. and noticed the power was out. Our play house flipped over and went into the park behind our house. It looked like strobe lights outside from the lightening. First Alex woke up and came in our bed. Then Rhoslyn woke up shortly after. We even had to bring the dogs crate into our room because he was scared as well.
Needless to say we did not get very much sleep, and I had to be up at 4:45 a.m. for work. The kids could not settle and fall back asleep. So, we spent about two hours with them tossing and turning, stealing our pillows and arguing that the other sibling was touching them. Finally the storm passed through and I requested they go back to their rooms.
Finally got back to sleep around 2. Woke up and realized we still didn't have power. Yay!
I wasn't sure if I would be working or not... it was fun trying to get ready by candle light.
I worked for a couple of hours even though school didn't have power either.
We came home and discovered we STILL didn't have power. We proceeded with opening presents, went to lunch at Mcdonalds, came home and everyone took a nap.
At 5:00 we STILL didn't have power, so we headed over to Gram's and Gramp's house for dinner and showers. Oh how nice that shower felt!
We celebrated with cupcakes, hung out for awhile and headed home around 8:00-8:30. Finally our power was back on!
I don't think we will ever forget her 3rd birthday!
(Keep an eye on her favorites and birthday party... coming soon)
