The biggest, best day of the week was Saturday. Miss Mae's 3rd birthday! She told me a month ago that she wanted an Olaf Frozen party so we honored her wishes and had a really easy, laid back time. I didn't photograph a lot of the stuff but the gist was just a table with a white table cloth and some blue bowls full of goodies like snowballs (powdered donut holes) snowman noses (carrot sticks) snowman arms (honey pretzel twists) and snow dip (ranch dressing). I found some cute free printables online with quotes from the movie and I taped those to the wall and put an Olaf on the front door with a little not of welcome. We had Frozen playing in the background the whole time and it was good stuff! Fun times.
As is our tradition, I made her cake. Just a simple chocolate cake and I gradually dyed the buttercream frosting blue as I went down. Easy peasy! The cake topper is just pompoms glued to pipe cleaners and attached to kebab sticks because they were too floppy to stand upright, haha. Sometimes you have to get inventive!
Her birthday was lovely. We had her party and she was spoiled with lovely people and kind words and gifts and all of the sweet things and then we went for a nature walk at the swamp.
The swamp was just as gorgeous and mosquito-y as always. <3 Look at that though. Isn't that a fun place?
It's so hard to believe that Al is 3. I had a hard time with, I'm not gonna lie. I had a lot of cries on Friday. At one point I said to husband that I just wasn't ready for her to be 3 and he said 'yeah, but Alice is' and that somehow made it easier. Because she is ready! She has all of these big ideas and dreams. She is all the best of me. All of my fire and none of my fear. What a bittersweet thing, to watch your kids grow up. I want them to grow into themselves and those big thoughts and hearts but I will miss these tender baby days. So long 2 and hello 3.
