The Birthday Girl!

 

Our sweet little miss. I love this stage. While some may say she is vain, I love that she is confident and assured. She'll be self conscious and struggle to fit in soon enough.

 

She is a quiet little gal, but very loving and sooo very compassionate. She worries about others feelings so much more than her own. Her daddy told her that he was a little sad about her not being 3 anymore, so she told him that if he was still sad, she would go back and be 3 again AFTER she was 4 and 5 for a while.

 

She's delicate and lady-like, prefers dresses--the fancier the better--LOVES ruffles!

 

She loves her little blue bed, her special blankets, a lamb named Grace, Mickey Mouse, unicorns and elephants.

 

She prefers orange juice to milk and loves ice-cream and marshmallows.

 

She adores her family and regularly thanks Jesus for them during prayer time.

 

She chose a Minnie Mouse Birthday theme.

I got her polka-dotted dress on sale at Gymboree and I made her mouse ears with a pink headband, some scraps of black felt and a bow.

I think she was/is adorable!

 

I made her cake using 2 rounds and a small oven-proof bowl. The mouse ears are oreos, covered in icing.

 

She chose Pepperoni Pizza and Minnie Mouse Yogurt for her special dinner. I used individual pan pizzas and miniature pizza rounds to make minnie pizzas!

 

She blew her candles out one at a time, thinking carefully and making a wish between each one.

 

She was very careful to sit on her "party chair" like a lady while opening her gifts.

 

I'm so blessed to be her mommy.

May the Lord bless her and keep her--ALWAYS!
