Annalise Turns 3!

In November Anna turned 3.  I cannot believe that at this point she is halfway to being 4!  Anyway, we just had a very small party this year.  I am already planning for her next birthday party though because I am excited for an idea that I have about a theme.  Other than her birthday party, which was after her birthday we also celebrated on her actual birthday by taking her to Toys R' Us to pick out a new toy - - she picked a talking Jessie cowgirl doll, and dinner at her favorite restaurant, Friendly's (which was also mine when I was a little kid).   Runs in my mind that her birthday is on Thanksgiving Day this coming year so we won't be going to Friendly's this year =).

 Annalise wanted a butterfly cake this year.  This was my best attempt at making them.  I made two because I made one as back up in case I messed the first one up.  I didn't, so then we just ended up with two cakes....of course.

 Anna was going in for the icing!

Some of her gifts stacked in her new shopping cart.  That cart is so cute!  It actually looks like a real cart!
