So our little Jada- Beta turned 3! She has bee excited for her birthday since her Grandpa McCombs had his birthday in July :) and since my birthday in November it has only gotten worse. She has taken up the habit of looking at Pinterest with me and picking out what kind of cakes and/or cupcakes she was going to have for her birthday. http://www.madeinmelskitchen.com/2009/09/kit-kat-cake/ That's the cake she was positive she was going to have. We did a downed played version of her "M&M Cake" She was just as happy with it because she still got her giant bag of M&M's :)
Her Grandpa and Abuela Bowman came to OP on Saturday and she got spoiled rotten by them (no surprise) and she got another Barbie (that makes 4 now), Barbie clothes, and Candyland! She already is pretty darn good at playing, but she cheats like you wouldn't believe :) She only plays on the purple squares or the pink squares with the little symbols on them!
Because I'm too stupid to figure out the dumb picture thing.... the next picture down is Jada blowing out her candles one a cupcake she decorated herself with M&M's (I put the candles on though) The ponies on either side of the cupcake she bought with some money that her Great-Grandpa Lanier gave her for her birthday! She felt SOOO special being able to buy that herself! She was dancing through the whole store when I told her she could take the ponies home with her.
For as excited as she was for her birthday party, it was kind of a flop :/ We were never able to get a hold of one of the kids, and 1 didn't show up at all, 2 of them showed up when the party was "ending" (according to the invitations) and only one showed up at the time he was supposed to. So instead of having 6 kids do the activities it was only 2 of them. In the picture with the tiny frogs they were melting balls of ice to get the frog in the middle. Turns out that the two of them had allot of fun doing that. Obviously it would have allot more fun to do that activity outside, but it was barely pushing 40 degrees :( But this is where I got the ice idea (we'll be doing it again when the weather warms up) http://alittlelearningfortwo.blogspot.com/2011/09/ice-eggs.html Jada had a blast though. It took her 2 days to recover :)And last but not least, There is a picture of Jada feeling BEAUTIFUL on her birthday! She loves the outfit that her Aunt Jaci picked out for her (a Christmas present) and always feel like a princess in it because of the silky part :) All-in-all Jada had a wonderful birthday and is sure that it will continue to be her birthday for a while yet :)
