Now We Are Three

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.


This is the face she always makes when cold water is involved.

Lilah's daycare provider (who I basically think of as the woman who looks after my kid while I am away from home playing with other people's kids)



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!




Live and Love...Out Loud

  3. Wow, those cupcakes look fantastic! What did you do to make the rainbow?
    For 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!

    1. I think so too. But I guess we will find out! :)

      The 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.
