Okee dokee. We all know that yesterday was a very special day for Lil' Miss. And I know you're all dying to know just what she did to celebrate that special day. Well, it started out a little rough. But we got over that rough spot and moved on to more celebratory activities. Nothing big, but exciting enough. First things first. She dressed herself that morning. Of course I said that today was her birthday and she should wear a party dress for the special occasion. Well she was gone like and shot and upstairs in her room. Did I dare follow her? No, I had another little person to manage so I threw caution to the wind. A short time later she came back downstairs twirling and showing off her birthday duds.

Please take note that she is wearing a pretty sundress (with a white t-shirt on underneath...something I would totally make her do since it is so cool out now), yellow tights, striped socks...and a skirt. Yeah, that's alot of bottom layers. But she wore them all day and well into the night and that was just that. Next came an afternoon trip to a very good friend's house to indulge in some tastee cupcakes. I didn't go all out on a cake for her this year. She will be having a birthday party with a couple of friends later on in the month and we're saving the special cake for that. Instead I made orange creamsicle cupcakes and we took them over to our friend's place to eat them. Of course after we ate cupcakes, it was time to dress up like a princess and dance....

 After the girls wore off all that sugar it was time to hit Chuck E Cheese's. I had never been to this place before, but Dad had taken Lil' Miss there a long time ago. I think I was working nights or something. Anyhow he took her and vowed to me when I got home that he would never take her there again. Just for the record...he suggested we take her there for her birthday. Sure! I don't mind, I've never been to the place. And Lil' Miss was instantly ecstatic that we were going there. Ok. Our good friend also brought her family and joined Lil' Miss on her birthday supper.

When Dad finally showed up at the restaurant, he came with a beautiful new tiara for the birthday girl to wear. Let's get this straight now...that's a FANCY NANCY tiara peoples! She wore it all night.

 Of course after you indulge in some cardboard pizza (the food was really bad. But kids don't care!) it was time to hit the games! Nothing like a spin on the marshmellow ride with your friend!

 And when you're done with the games, how about 'cuttin a rug' on the dance floor? Alot of time was spent on that dance floor....

 Some new moves were learned.....

 And alot of twirling was a'going on!

 Then when you're tired of burning up the dance floor, head 'er on back to the games! Nothing like riding the same ride or playing the same game over and over and over again!

 And to end the night....cake! To celebrate the turning of 3 years old! Can you believe it? I'm not sure I can. When 9 pm hit, the Mr.Mister was melting down (waaaaay past his bedtime) and Dad was in a coma from attempting to eat the bad food (yeah, it really was bad) so it was time to hit the trail home. Little did the Lil' Miss know, but there was still one last thing to do at home. Open PRESENTS!!!!

 I want to thank everyone who gave her a present. She carefully opened and analyzed every single gift. Big smiles for everything....and she even opened and looked at the cards! What kid opens the card before they rip open the present???? This one does! As you can see she got a noisy pink guitar (from Daddy), books, colouring books, stickers, a new outfit...a new lolly dolly.....

Pretty good haul if I do say so myself. And so ends that birthday for another year.
