Hi all! Well, we had a very eventful couple of weeks preparing for Piper's 3rd birthday. Her birthday fell on a thursday so kyle and i took her to a real bakery for the first time and let her pick out a few cupcakes to take with us to chuck e cheese. She chose three different kinds of cupcakes and I think she would have eaten them all if we had let her. We took her to chuck e cheese for lunch that day and she really played hard. We ate pizza and played games and came home with a ton of useless stuff that her tickets bought her. Later that night my mom took us to dinner at Piper's fav restaurant.....kan pai. It's a japanese steak house where they cook on the table. She had a wonderful day all together. Her birthday party was sunday. We had it at a local park where we could rent a pavillion. The weather was great, a little warm, but still overall great. Everyone that we invited was bale to join us and Piper had so much fun. There were about 25 people there and about ten of them were playmates for Piper. We let the kids play and enjoyed pizza. Then we had a sundae bar and all the kids got to make their own ice cream sundae's. Then we sang happy birthday and ate the dora the explorer cake. After that Piper opened her gifts and now I must say we are over run with dora gear and lots of other good stuff. To end the festivities we had a pinata. All the kids got a turn and a bag to retrieve their loot as it poured out of the over stuffed dora pinata. She still sings happy birthday to herself every night and has already asked when her birthday is again! I guess that means we did good but, i will say I am glad that it's only once a year! I can't believe how time flies and how it just seemed like yesterday that she was Harper's size!
