My baby turns 3!

If you've read the previous entries, you can see we've been busy with celebrations around here!

My little one turned three last week! Because of my brain was nearly fried I wanted to plan an easy (but still fun) birthday celebration for Eliza. Pizza hut took care of the lunch for me, the kids and Daniel covered game ideas and prep, Daniel put up the streamers, and I did the cake.

Pin the crown on the princess (Andrew's idea):

...turned into transforming the game's crowns into wearable crowns...
The little girl in blue next to Eliza is Grace. Grace and her sister Hannah (in yellow) lived below our apartment for a while and we love their family! Every time somebody mentioned how Eliza was turning three, she'd say, "Like Gracie!!"

For the cake I did a cool tracing method my sister taught us years ago, and took a picture before I transferred the picture onto the cake...just in case I botched it. (By the way, her face is under the peach frosting and shows up when you flip it.) I'm a little bummed I didn't take a picture right after the transfer because it worked great! By the time we had cake and ice cream the black frosting had bled somewhat into the yellows.
