Happy Third Birthday, Third Daughter!

The Birthday Girl!

She was so happy that it was her birthday and she shared that with everyone! She invited people over to come have birthday cake (although, sadly, they couldn't make it). She was dancing around everywhere when she told people about her birthday. She even would hold up her fingers and say "cover the pinkie" and only respond with verbal answer after much questioning of how old she was. So proud that she can hold up her hand, that was more important than saying "f-ree!"

It was a fun birthday, and we enjoyed talking with grandparents on skype, dancing (lots of dancing!) and being with family.



Travis said the cake was "over the top". But it was so fun to see Miranda's excitement over her "Princess Jen-a-Beeb" with Twila (the cat). I loved putting it together with Miranda at my elbow every step of the way... except when she kept bumping the said body part while I tried to pipe frosting on the dress.

Here is a slide show of more pics of the cake:




Miranda did not hesitate a moment in knowing what to do with the singing and the candle. She was eager to finally be able to eat Twila. She'd been asking for a week to eat the cat! (I made the cat far in advance of the cake).
