Three years young....

our little Z is three!

Despite the miles between our nuclear family and our extended family-we were together in spirit to celebrate the little one's birthday.



Here's what the basement looked like- it was festive! We are lucky to have additional living space downstairs in our new home. We take full advantage of it. There's a section dedicated to toys/playing, a living room with a fireplace, a bathroom, a spare room and a cantina for storage.

Thank you to Mimi and Papa for the party decor- it was Diego all the way. (Z has a thing for him- we are in trouble : )Thank you also for all of the cool art supplies, clothes/socks, etc.






My Man made pizza for everyone, which was followed by the traditional cake and ice cream. For the "family" celebration, I created a mountain of cupcakes with Diego scaling the side. It was interesting.(Read- giant gooey mess.) So, lesson learned, I stuck to the basics for the party.



Here's the dress that made her spin all night- thanks Uncle Crunchy and Auntie Na.






Singing in the rain- thanks Grammy and Grampy for all the goodies.

Fun activity time- thanks Auntie RoRo we have gotten lots of miles out of the re-useable sticker sets.

Gowns and pj's and more- oh my- thanks Nanny-o.












A pretty princess costume from Aunt Buffy, Uncle Lou & Quin- and a hilarious book with stuffed toy called SkippyJonJones.



What a day.

We are grateful to have our family's support across the miles!

True to our tradition, we documented even more of this momentous occasion- look for a snapfish invite in your inbox soon.

Have a Very Merry Un-birthday to you, to you....

The tallest of the small is 6.5 years old. We had the usual half-birthday fun. At school, on her half-birthday, one of her friends told her that half birthdays aren't real. She mentioned this to me when she got off the bus. Then she asked me if half birthdays are "real." Hmmmmm. "What do you think?" I asked her (love that parenting technique). Well, she explained that lots of people don't celebrate their half birthdays, most people probably. But since we do, they are real for us. Sounds good to me : ) You get to celebrate their lives twice as many times- how can I resist, besides, it involves CAKE people! Happy half-birthday!
