On May 12, I went to Anya's class for snack time and brought homemade chocolate chip cookies for her birthday. They were yum, and the kids loved them. I think Anya enjoyed her mom and brother coming to her class, and I enjoyed seeing her and all her classmates.
May 14 was her actual birthday. My baby is 3!! Not at all a baby anymore, or even a toddler for that matter! It's amazing to me what a true miracle she is, and every day I just thank God for sending her to us!!! Well, I had to work that day. I ended up getting off 2 hours early. I had already bought a small cake, and Chris stopped at Zippy's on the way home for some yummy Mexican for supper. She had her usual, chicken quesidillas, and then we had some chocolate cake and ice cream.
Chris and I were gone that weekend, and the next weekend Chris's sister and mom were out of town for a graduation, so my family came over for dinner (May 23). We were going to grill beings it was Memorial day weekend, but the forecast was for rain, so I made crawfish fettuccine. My sisters got Anya an ice cream maker, her own pink ice cream bowl, and a frilly cute pink apron. She is really getting into helping me in the kitchen, and LOVES ice cream, so I thought she would enjoy making it herself. She put on the apron and helped shuck corn for dinner, and we made the ice cream (fresh strawberry. We enjoyed it for days).
On Saturday May 28, we had a few of Anya's friends meet us at Potteryworks and we painted some pottery. It turned out to be a lot of fun, and not near the mess I had anticipated. I had made all the kids a tee-shirt with their names on them to keep their clothes clean. They were so cute!!!
Whew! I hope next year her birthday is a little calmer!
