We threw Sloan's birthday party this past weekend, but since she turns three today, I thought I'd share a few pictures from Saturday. The last two years we had very intimate gatherings at home with just a few people, but since Sloan now has a seriously impressive group of friends from school, we invited all 20 kids in her class and their parents to celebrate. We held it at a nearby preschool and served breakfast tacos and coffee (and an Olaf cake, naturally). I feel so fortunate that we're surrounded by such an incredibly supportive community, all of whom helped make Sloan's third birthday really special.
