Sugar Turns Three

My baby is now three years old. Hard to believe and easy to believe at the same time.

The fun thing about turning three is that it seems to be the first year my kids seem to "get" their birthday enough that they have a specific idea in their head about what they want to do...yet, it seems to be limited to something simple. Slugger wanted a "yellow" birthday, Sparkle wanted a cake/cupcakes. Sugar was initially determined to have a "Hawkgirl" party (from the Justice league). But, I just couldn't pull off this obscure party without a lot more work than I had time for this season. So...thankfully, a three-year-old is also easily influenced. A trip to the party store quickly changed her mind...and a Curious George party emerged. Sugar had three little three-year-old (-ish) friends join her along with family and some older siblings. A little crazy...but Birthday Girl was happy...so I am too.

Monkey cupcakes...easy, but a big hit.



I'm reading, "Curious George and the Birthday Surprise". Apparently, I am very concerned about George. Truly a deep and moving book.



Blowing out the candles...



It was all very exciting...

Love the cupcakes! We were so close to landing on Sugar's birthday with our little girl. Three-years-old is big stuff. Happy Birthday!
