We are amidst birthday season (with halloween smushed in the middle) at our house. The anticipation of candles, cupcakes, parties, surprises, a new number to proudly share when that frequent question, "how old are you?" comes up in conversation...all very exciting and much anticipated by our littles. Although, Bennett struggles to fully understand why Elly Rose celebrates her birthday before him...
This is on the morning of Elly Rose's 3rd birthday...it fell over fall break for Bennett and I, so we enjoyed a low key day of celebrating - complete with her pick of cider slushies from the lilly orchard...yum! Bennett picked out this yo gabba t-shirt for Elly Rose for her birthday and she begs to wear it every day!
We convinced her into an outfit change for her lil party. My mom made this sweet frock for her and Elly Rose was quite excited when she saw it. This year, she helped to pick out the fabric, so upon seeing it transformed into an outfit, she was quite pleased.
And...another outfit change for the day - wearing a newly opened princess dress-up frock and necklace to go with her "kitty cat" cake...we are dabbling in all kinds of animated creations these days.
We wanted to include a few of her little friends in a birthday celebration this year. After a little brainstorming, we decided to try Build A Bear. It was so much fun to have a handful of little ladies select, fluff, clean and dress little bears...we loved it! Wonderful hands on activity and a little dessert to follow.
Rosie decided very quickly that she wanted her bear to wear "colts cheer-weader." Didn't even have an interest in looking at the VAST (I had no idea of the options) selection of clothing choices for a selected animal.
Project complete! Happy 3rd Birthday to our little spitfire of a girl!
