Today, Chloe turned 3! When you ask her how old she is she will hold up three fingers on one hand and say “I’m dis many!” She has been looking forward to her birthday for awhile now, but mostly since Kyle had his birthday and she knew hers was next. So after dinner tonight we got to celebrate her birthday (I am doing such a good job of making sure we celebrate birthdays ON the actual birthday 🙂 ). We got on Skype to do a video call with cousins, Tommy and Annaleah. The kids really enjoyed showing off a bunch of their toys and things to their cousins. The funny thing was that everybody was showing off their own things and nobody was actually paying attention to what the others were showing them. Then we went outside to attack the pinata.
We went through everyone twice before we actually had it totally broken open. I love this picture of Tyra though:
She is making a funny face, and I caught the candy in mid-air as it was falling to the ground. This picture of Ethan is pretty funny too:
After the kids had picked up all the candies it was time to go inside for some cake. Chloe picked carrot cake when I gave her a list of choices, and so that is what I made. Along with cream cheese frosting.
Then we took a break from all the celebrating to try to clean up a bit before letting Chloe open her presents. However, the kids took a REALLY long time to get their chores done and to get the living room tidied up, so we were really tired by the time we actually got around to presents. And being tired means that one minute, Chloe was perfectly happy:
Then the next minute she was not:
Then she went back to being perfectly happy again:
But all things considered, I think she really enjoyed her birthday. 🙂
