Birthday...

For Elsie's Birthday we just had a low-key day on her birthday...she had her first day of dance class then went to visit Grandma B. The day after her Birthday we went swimming with her little aunties...(pictures to come!) and had cake and a pinata in the evening...
Elsie had a Barbie Birthday cake...I am not a fan of making cakes...we have cupcakes for every holiday because they are easier to frost! This cake turned out better than I thought it would...even if it does look like she has funky hips!
After swimming we opened all the gifts...Elsie's favorite part! She opened dress up shoes, a dress up dress, a Liv Doll, a new coat and snowpants (which she thankfully forgot she picked out while shopping!) play-doh, headbands, fake fingernails...so many fun little gifts! She is one lucky little girl! Her favorite things are the dress up shoes and dress up dress...and yes, she has already wore them to the grocery store!
Lucky girl...
And the pinata...just the 3 girls wanted to whack at the pinata...they each took turns...and finally after lots of turns the pinata broke open enough to spill out all the candy...
Elsie's turn...in her fancy new dress up dress and shoes...
When the pinata finally broke, it hit against the wall and knocked down a picture...but at least the candy spilled out! I love the look on Marissa's face...I think she looks a little shocked!
Candy, Candy, Candy! Between the super dyed cake and lots and lots of candy we are still on a bit of a sugar high today! I think tomorrow we will start back on our healthy diet...because I know a little girl who is having a few issues from such an icky diet!
Blowing the candles out...and just for the record...the next day Elsie had cake for Breakfast, and lunch and a little for a snack also! Does that make me a bad mother or a fun mother? Tomorrow we really, really need to get back on track! Dye, sugar and a 3 year old mixed together makes for an un-happy mother!
All pooped out from a day of partying...she fell asleep on the couch with her new Liv Doll...and she must have been tired because I don't think she moved all night!
Happy Birthday Miss. Elsie Jane...and to think she is now on the count down for turning 4!
