3's a Charm

Earlier posts told of granddaughter's approaching 3rd birthday celebration and a zoo trip. But, no birthday is complete without a celebration and treats too.

Grandpa morning treats of chocolate donuts were shared with her brother.



And, a birthday would not be complete without LOTS of balloons.


A birthday tiara is a must when riding the gift of a very colorful new bike.


What excitement when she saw her birthday cake decorated with favorite Disney characters.


Then, there were the birthday cards and presents opened with mom Shannon's help.



The largest gift was the last one to be opened —assembly required. 


And that's what grandpa Grenville did, not without a bit of frustration at times.


A new home is ready for a doll family.

It's good to be 3!

I love, love, love pictures of little girls in their tiaras as they sit in the place of honor in front of the cake. They just curl inward in excitement and the understanding that they are Queen for a Day. Their expressions say it all. SO PRECIOUS!

Lovely birthday party and birthday girl! Lucky her to have Grandpa to put together that dollhouse. I'll bet Ellie wanted his help to furnish it too.
