Emily turned 3 on October 7th, and dressed up in her cake/cupcake dress for school that day.
She really likes pink, sparkles, princesses and ballerinas. She was delighted with her new ballet dress up ensemble!
As much fun as a party is, the kids always have at least as much fun getting ready the occasion. Here are Andrew and Emily icing her cupcakes. She chose the colors to match the cupcakes on her dress.
We had to rush off to Andrew's choir the night of her birthday, but had time for some gifts and cupcakes beforehand. She loved her new "Emily" water bottle.
Andrew worked hard to do some button sewing at school and wrapped this up to give to her as a present. It was one of the most heartfelt gifts, and she treasures it.
Someone asked the other day if Emily is less shy with the camera. I had to think back as she is such a poser now that I couldn't even remember a time when she had been less fond of being the centre of attention.
I love being 3!
With such an eventful fall, we finally got a little party going for Emily with a few friends this past weekend. We had to have a Dora theme as she is still smitten with her. I made the cake to match a map of the activities we did. The kids built their tallest Lego tower to get over "3 Hill", then they had to reassemble mixed up puzzles at "Puzzlers Corner" and build long sturdy popsicle stick bridges to cross the "Rainbow Bride" and recover the pinata that Swiper had swiped. Most kids had a good time with this, except poor Emily really thought Swiper had taken off with her pinata so was most relieved when it was found!
Emily needed no help opening her cards or gifts this year!
