Birthdays with Family

We were able to have a few other birthday celebrations with family. Last Sunday, at Aunt Shell's house, we enjoyed a nice birthday breakfast. Allie was so excited!
Aunt Shell had such a nice set up for her birthday! Allie LOVED this birthday cake.

This is the face she makes when we sing to her. She loves it!
(p.s. We pulled the same cake (half eaten) out on her birthday, 4 days later. We put 3 new candles on it and sang again!)

Allie hugged almost all her gifts. Such a sweetie!

The kids skyped with Mimi for Allie's birthday. They were still dressed in their playtime costumes for the day, so these pictures turned out cute. Allie is dressed as Buzz Lightyear. Love it!

Mimi made her a super cute homemade card using pictures of Allie. The one on the inside had Allie dressed in her Ballet costume. She loved it!

Later in the skype-with-Mimi time, Allie changed into her newest costume - Tinkerbell - which was a birthday gift from Mimi. These wings light up with blinking lights. So cute.

At lunchtime when Daddy came home to eat with us, we let Allie open her gifts from Zachary & us. Here he is showing her what is in the Tinkerbell backpack we got for her. He had a few minutes where it looked like he was having a tough time with Allie getting all the attention & gifts, but he did handle it well overall.

She's eating her birthday lunch:

We are so blessed with our sweet 3-year old. The day after her birthday, she asked me, "Mommy, am I still 2 years old?"
I said, "No, sweet girl, you're 3 years old now!"
But my heart said, "I wish you were still 2 years old."
