Happy 3rd Birthday, Mira!

Mira's birthday was Tuesday but since she didn't know the date we were able to convince her that her birthday was Saturday without any trouble. Daddy was home from school and Mira woke up to find the grocery cart that she had been asking for waiting in the living room. She loved it!

We spent the morning preparing for her princess tea party with her cousins and two friends, aunts and uncles, Memaw, Grandad and Nanny. At 11:30 the festivities began. Daddy read two princess/fairy stories and then we had a tea party with little sandwiches, carrots, apples, gold fish crackers and jello squares. The kids all took the food their were excited for and ate none of it. Just too much excitement I guess. We made magical fairy wands next then had cupcakes and opened presents. The kids were all birthday'd out and the party was done at 1pm.

We put the girls down for a nap afterwards. When they woke up we used the Valentine's gift from Grandma and Papa to raid the candy store. Mira and Josh handled it rather well but Evelyn just went biserk and we had to take her bad to the car. They all came home with a few choices and got to taste them. It was a sweets filled day.

We ended the day with dinner at our neighbor's house, the kids watching movies and playing games. We were pooped!

The party was truly wonderful though and the kids were happy and well-behaeved throughout. Definitely an event to repeat if ever you could have a 'do-over' :-)
