Our little gal is 3! She has been looking forward to her birthday for ever and it was so fun to finally be able to make some of her wishes a reality.
The morning started off with surprise doughnuts from Dad. She couldn't have been more pleased!
She wanted a princess cake with "probably no nuts" for her birthday so that's what she got. Of course our over-the-top obsessed with hair child wanted to hold the Barbie's hair all day long. She is so crazy!
We gave her tons of choices of what she could do for her birthday, but her consistent request was to play with her office stuff and watch a movie at Nana's house so that's what we did.
While we were getting ready for her party she dressed up and then we ended up with a random dance party in the backyard. I was working on dinner and when I walked out it seriously looked like the circus had shown up in our yard.
Then on to the circus rides...
Later in the evening some family and friends came over for a little party.
We ate beans and cheese, per Mikayla's request, then played some awesome last minute party games.
Pin the hair on Rapunzel.
Toss Pascal into the frying pan.
Then gifts and cake!
Mikayla freaked out about the sparklers, of course.
Then she freaked out because the Barbie from her cake only had one leg. I sure forgot to prep her about that one. Oops.
I thought it was the perfect little night because we got to spend it with people who love Mikayla and support us as we try to raise her the best we can. We are always very grateful for so much love and support for our family.
As I was tucking her into bed tonight she asked me if she was was 2 anymore and when I told her she wasn't she asked if she was 3. When I said yes she asked me very concerned, "What happened to my 2?" Love that girl!
We sure are lucky to have this funny, loving, dramatic, hair-obsessing princess in our home. She keeps life fun for all of us!
