Super Sadie turns 3

 On March 9 2011, our lives changed again forever with the arrival of Sadie Brighton Cottrell.  She is our Korean baby, outside of her two trips to America (1 month each), she has spent her whole life in Seoul.  She is our blue eyed blonde haired Superman fanatic.  She is full of energy and laughs, smiles and fun.  She is independent, strong willed, and a bit stubborn at times but we can't imagine life without her.

 Here are all of her gifts with some custom artwork from her favorite friends, Logan and Addy.

 Addy and Sadie under a rainbow.

 Logan's rendition of a classic scene from Superman I, in which Superman stands perpendicularly on a building to stop a robber who is scaling the walls.  We showed this movie to Sadie and the other kids about a month ago and now it is more popular in our house than Frozen (thank goodness!)

 So everything for her 3rd birthday had to be Super Sadie themed.

 Sadie, like the other two kids (dad too), loves to play with Lego.  We found a couple of really fun duplo sets for making ice cream cones and other foodstuffs.

 Cheese!

 Now it is official, she has the super suit, and the cape with her "S" on it... Here she is... SUPER SADIE!

 She loves her Super Mommy.

 Just checkin to make sure that the cape works.

 Sadie with her mini figures... I never knew how hard it would be to buy a normal superman toy.  There was super ultra battle armor lava grip gun shooting superman (who as far as I know never appeared in any comic books, movies etc.) and a Lego minifigure Superman, but the real deal will have to wait on Amazon to deliver...

 Next up... The cake.  Each of the kids gets to request a theme for their cake, Amber bakes the cake and I frost the design.  Sadie had a very specific cake in mind... you guessed it, Superman.

 So we decided to do a Superman shield with a little bit of Sadie flair.

 Here is the final product.

 Cheese!

 Double cheese!

 A rarely given and highly coveted Sadie kiss.

 We sang the birthday song and Sadie blew out her candle.

 Yummy cake... thanks mom!

After all of this excitement, Super Sadie was super tired.  Happy Birthday Sadie, We love you more than you will ever know.  Just don't grow up too fast.
