My Baby Girl is 3

My smart, beautiful, and sassy girl turned 3 recently. WOW! It still blows my mind to think how fast the last three years have gone. They have been a challenge and a blessing.

We did the same thing for her birthday this year as we did last year, the only difference was that she understood what was going on this year. We had a cookout in the back yard for her, and we invited all of her friends over. I made a Hello Kitty cake ( pictured above, in case you could not tell what it was!) per her request. It tasted wonderful, but was not as pretty as I had it pictured in my head.

It made me happy and proud to see Miss O interacting with her friends. They all got to sit at a table together, and it was so much fun to hear them talking. They were saying silly thing and making funny noises in order to make the other kids laugh! So cute!

Before the party, I was experiencing some guilt for not having a typical "kid party". There was no theme, no decorations, and no party favors. It was a cookout with Miss O getting to spend time with all the people who love her dearly. In the end, that is what it should be about anyways. I could not have been happier with how it turned out.

Happy Birthday Miss O!! I Love You!
