How We Celebrate Three

L's birthday started out with butterfly pancakes and then she had a play date with her friend Lanie while I went to an appointment.
During the day she got to watch a Sesame Street DVD and then we took her out to dinner. She picked the restaurant we went to and she got a free meal plus a sundae for dessert.

When we got home she opened her gifts from the family. She got a game, a view master with lots of reels to look at, a megablocks race track, and a cute sticker book her sister made for her.

The sticker book is really cute, I am only showing the
back because her name is on the front of it.

After opening all of her presents the girls played with the race track for about an hour. I think this might be her favorite gift. I am so glad I was able to find it on ebay. They don't sell these any more which is quite a bummer.

After playing for a while, we talked her into blowing out the candles on her birthday donut. She blew them all out in three tries. An extinguished flame for each year of her life, seems appropriate.
