Kaya's Third Birthday

Kaya turned 3 at 8:20 tonight! She had a pretty good birthday - first we all slept in, because it was Saturday! Then we went to Longwood Gardens for a walk in the morning. Kaya got an unexpected gift from the garden store there when she ripped open a packet of Silly Bands before we could stop her - hence I ended up putting $3.87 on my credit card. Then we walked all over longwood gardens (Kaya led the way) and saw all three treehouses! One treehouse was pretty neat - it had a working beehive inside of it, which was producted between two sheets of glass so you could see up close - but not get stung. After that Kaya decided she was too tired to walk, so we carried her out of there. It's funny, we don't even consider taking the stroller anywhere anymore, but sometimes I still wish we had it!

For Kaya's birthday dinner we went to Momo and PaPa's house for dinner and Nanae and Pop Pop came with us. Kaya was tired and slept the whole way there, but as soon as we got there she immediately woke up and wanted to open presents. She just couldn't wait! She loved all of her presents, especially the stuffed giraffe and the tent tunnel - which she kept bringing all her friends into. (including the inflatable dinosaurs that have taken up permanent residence in the sunroom). After all the presents, she sat down very nicely for dinner and ate some turkey and mashed potatoes. She was especially interested in her TWO cakes - both Dora themed - one chocolate and one ice cream cake. She had a great time dipping her finger in the frosting!

When we sang "Happy Birthday" to her, (at 8:20pm, as per tradition) she just screamed at us to stop!! She did not like being on display like that at all this year!
