Sweet Mia

Mia turned three back on August 28th, and I've been meaning to put up a post about her birthday (mostly for the grandparents :). So here it is:

We started out the day at 7:30 sharp when Mia popped out of bed and immediately said, "Let's make cupcakes!!!" So, we were making cupcakes at 7:30 in the morning. :) Afterward, we had to get the birthday girl dressed for the day. Her attire of choice EVERY DAY is a dress (because she IS a princess). I used to tell her no, and then I decided that her cute Sunday dresses never get worn out anyway....








The next fun activity for the day was a cupcake party with our friends. We were supposed to enjoy this outside at a park (with little clean up and free entertainment), but it was RAINING! So we moved the party indoors - and the kids did really well. (nothing broken in our smaller apartment with 6 toddlers and 3 babies).











After the cupcakes we played a few simple games that I had come up with (hot potato, London bridge, etc.). The hit of the party was some punching balloons that our friend Janae brought to share:





Mia had a great time playing with her friends and downing cupcakes - well mostly frosting and sprinkles. Later in the day we opened presents from family.

Here she is doing her best "3"






We bought Mia a Cinderella dress as her bigger gift this year - she LOVES to play dress up right now. She also loved all the toys from her Grandparents (THANK YOU!) in fact, she was so excited to play with her toys that it was hard to get her to calm down for bed at the end of the night.







We had a great time celebrating Mia's birthday! She's our favorite little princess!
