We held Lilah's third birthday party on the weekend at our nearest playground that also includes a spray park. She got to share it with one of her besties whose birthday happens to be exactly one week after hers, and it seems a good time was had by all.

Thankfully, summer arrived in Vancouver just in time for the party.

I remembered to slather my kid with sunscreen repeatedly but of course forgot to do myself the same favour. Result: burnt preggers.
The candles would not stay lit in the breeze, so we had to pretend. Here's what Lilah thought of that:

But I'm pretty sure she did like the rainbow cupcakes I made. I've been dreaming of these babies for months!
Phew, I'd forgotten what a lot of work throwing a large birthday party is, but I think we pulled it off!
Looks like a lot of fun!! Happy 3rd Birthday, sweet girl!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Alison!
DeleteShe's so stinkin' cute. Happy birthday, little one! Those rainbow cupcakes look awesome. Nice job, mama!
ReplyDeleteWow, those cupcakes look fantastic! What did you do to make the rainbow?
ReplyDeleteFor us, 3 was a big turning point. She is at a great age for the new baby to arrive too. Old enough to entertain herself for short periods while your busy with a newborn!
I think so too. But I guess we will find out! :)
DeleteThe rainbows are a candy called "rainbow belts" that I cut down to the right size for the cupcakes. You can get them at the Candy Aisle in bulk.
We had a great time. Thanks for having us. Adam loves your last photo of Ms. Lilah.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love all of the ones he sent me!
Delete(Okay, well, not as much the ones of me, but that's not really a photography problem... :)
DeleteThat looks like a great party!!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun. But is it terrible to say I'm glad I don't have to do it again for another year???
