THREE

Our little Nora is now three.  It got a little confusing because we celebrated early while my mother and grandmother were still here, so when her actual birthday came I had to do some convincing that she really, really was three now.

The highlight of her little party was her favorite gift.  I asked her earlier what she wanted for her birthday, and she said, after a brief pause to think, "my blankie and my pooh bear and my dollie and my pillow."  She was completely serious and had no other answer when I asked if there was anything ELSE she wanted.  So we bundled up her blankie, pooh bear, dollies and pillow from her bed into a large gift bag, and, as you can see, she was delighted!  Oh, my sweet little girl.

Don't worry, she received and was delighted with several other lovely (and new) gifts, including a little doll quilt that Elsa had sewn all by herself with Nana's instructions.

We went easy on the fancy "cake" - she was completely happy with frosted rice krispy treats.

Happy Birthday little one!
