Benziger babes

Wow! Such a big present all for me!? I had not one, not two, but three birthdays this year. I got to open presents with Mommy, Daddy and Theo on my actual birthday. Then, we spent the weekend at the Pastorius cabin and Mommy and me got to have a joint Frozen birthday party. Evie, Theo and I dressed up as Anna, Olaf and Elsa from the Frozen movie. Even Grandpa joined in the fun! Mommy can't believe her baby is 3! I am going quickly. I love my new school and playing on the computer and doing puzzles.
