Let the third birthday celebrations begin

On Thanksgiving weekend my family came over to celebrate.  While they were here we celebrated both my sister in laws and Elspeth’s birthdays.  It was fun because Elspeth got it.  Cupcakes – a hit, presents – hit.  Loved it.

This morning they celebrated her birthday at nursery school.  They made sugar cookies and Elspeth was thrilled that she got to chose the colour – pink.  We sent some simple halloween craft supplies and they all created sticker pumpkins at the craft table.  Then she got a birthday hat and a nursery version of happy birthday.  That was one happy girl (as you can see) when I picked her up.

We topped the day off with a birthday visit from Grammy.  Elspeth thought that the pink, sparkly cat card was adorable.  And then she saw the super, fuzzy polar fleece blanket with the family of penguins on it.  What followed was a lot of happy laughing and a few blanket rides (Katrine has her sit on the blanket and then she pulls Elspeth around.)

Quiet day tomorrow and then it will be her actual birthday as well as her party.  Getting excited.
