Birthday Celebration(s)

What would birthday week be if it didn't include celebrating for more than one day? That's how its been at our house, one perpetual celebration. We celebrated with a birthday party/ playgroup hijacking. Since I'm a one-track-brain I made some poofy princess skirts for the girls. But what do you do for boys? Capes. Tell them they are knights capes and then they'll actually wear them. Thanks to Mama Heather for talking me through birthday parties. It would have been a real bomb had she not helped me figure out what three year olds like to do.
If you need suggestions use these: pin the tail on the bunny, memory with fairy pictures from your clip art files, jump the dragon's tail (jumping back and forth over a shiny belt like thing), freeze dance, Easter egg hunt, cake & ice cream.

Memory

Jumping the dragon's tail

Freeze dance

Party friends, poofy skirts and all!
Cupcake anticipation

Lesson learned - put better candy in the plastic eggs. Note to self, Dave likes chewy Sprees.

Noelle had fun with her friend Bea. Thank you Sundahls.

After a week in Massachusetts we joined up with Grammy, Great Grammy & Great Papa, along with all the aunts, uncles and cousins would could imagine. Noelle got to have a joint family party with cousin Andrea who turned five. We took a train ride on "Dinah" which Noelle thought was great since she didn't have to sit the whole time.



Thanks to all of you who have helped us celebrate in one way or another. I think next year we'll just have a family night at Peter Piper and call it good.
