So our peanut is not so little anymore. She has turned 3 years old and is a big girl with a lot of will and opinions. We had two days of celebrations starting on Friday first with a breakfast in bed together. In the evening there were a open house at day care and we also celebrated Bella's birthday. Saturday morning we had a brunch party at our house with her favorites; pancakes. We had pumpkin, strawberry and plain pancakes as well as fruit and pumpkin-chocolate chip bread. Mmmmmm it was so good. Most of her friends came over and loved playing with her toys and jumping on a bouncy we had in the garden. She got many fun presents; a sandbox, dresses, shoes, books and some snugly things. The fun had to come to an end at 2pm when she was ready for a nap. The evening was mellow with her order of veggie burgers and grilled asparagus as well as a small piece of chocolate cake made by Jessica.
We've added the highlights below. You can see all the pictures from her birthday here.
