Princess bayaweenas (ballerinas) make me happy.


declared Ceci while putting together a new princess-ballerina-fairy-horsey-unicorn puzzle from Nana.  

Yesterday was Ceci's 3rd birthday.  I think I was more excited than she was.  I really wanted her to feel special.  I always felt really special on my birthday, what I referred to as the "birthday feeling" and I want my kids to feel that way, too.  Birthdays are special days.
I asked her what she wanted for her birthday.  She said, "A pink Transformer."  I thought, "Great, where am I going to find a pink transformer?"  Actually, there is a girl Transformer who is sort of a dark pink/ purplish.  So, Ceci got a Transformer for her birthday.
We took cupcakes (chocolate with pink icing) to dance class in the morning.  What a hit.  That was always so fun, bringing in pink cupcakes on your birthday.  Ceci was so excited.  
I took pictures of her opening her presents in the morning, but none came out that great.  Here is one of her opening a gift from Farmor and Grandpa:
We had a very small tea party.  I asked Ceci to pick three friends and invited those three to come over for an hour yesterday afternoon.  We had a lemonade tea party, put on make up and fancy dresses, had a dance party, and went on a princess walk in our dress up clothes.  You might wonder how we fit it all into an hour, but with 3 to 4 year olds it was not hard.  Nothing lasted more than 7 minutes.  The most hilarious part was the actual tea party part...



(Look at me, I'm so high tech. Tina, you inspired me.)

Oh, my goodness!! THAT is one adorable tea party. I am surrounded by creative people who know how to make birthdays special. I need to take notes. I'm not so good at it. I am, however, pleased as tea party punch to know I inspired YOU, Aly! LOVED the video. Keep them coming, and happy birthday Ceci!!
