SHE'S 3!!!

N finally turned 3 this week. It has been the much anticipated birthday of the year at our house. She has been talking about it since Feb. when we had Myk's B'day party. So the time finally came for us to celebrate for N. She was so excited, as were the rest of us. Once again, as with the last birthday celebration at our house, I was busy running the show, and therefore we got very few pics, but at least lots of it is on the video camera.

These are pics of her cake that G and I made. Really simple, yet pleasing enough to a 3 yr old. It was priceless when we sang Happy Birthday to here, she sang right along with us. Yes, we got that on video. I'm so happy about that.

This was after cake, when we were getting ready to open gifts. We did a pinata for the little ones and a water fight for the little bit bigger kids. It was very fun. She loved all her gifts and is so happy to have new toys. She is a very grateful child. I was just happy that we got it pulled off. Considering we had had 2 open houses this weekend to sell our house and I was sick the entire weekend with the flu. Anyhow, Happy Birthday to our beautiful little "sweet pea!"

Happy 1st Birthday Brityn!!

Some of the birthday party attendants. All kids in the family. We have lots of little ones in the fam, this was minus 4 others, 2 of which are under 2 years old. I can see our future parties are going to be wild and crazy.

Our party theme was rubber Fireman Duckies. Someone said to me, "so you assume that since your husband is a fireman your children will automatically like fireman things." I say, "yes" to that, and since we have no boys in the casa, George has to get his share of boy stuff in when he can. I quite like the firemen things myself.

I made these duck cakes. the little one is just for B. She didn't dig in too much, she was more concerned about the frosting all over her fingers. This was her first time having sweets and she didn't know what to think of it. Now the sweets have been cut off again.

Our Birthday Girl! She loved her tiarra. I realized that since I was filming the whole event, we have very few actual birthday pictures and none of her eating her cake. That's what happens when I have to take both pics and film. Oops.
