Arya's 3rd Birthday

We celebrated Arya's birthday with a family birthday party on January 11. It was Minnie Mouse themed.
Everyone was required to take a picture wearing Minnie Mouse ears:

Grandma Debbie

Gramma Suzanne

Mommy

Pa (Grampa Brian)

Daddy

Uncle Brian

Aunt Mary

Great-Aunt Dee

Great-Uncle Steve

Great-Aunt Janelle
Aunt Shannon

Uncle Terry

 The Cake:





Arya loved blowing out the candles and us singing happy birthday- so much so that it all happened three times. Each time we did it she'd say "Again!" We told her no after the third time. We said three times since it was her third birthday.

Presents:


She LOVED this Minnie Laptop from Great-Grandma Joan. Too bad she opened it first, it made her not want to continue opening presents. She just wanted to play with the laptop.



She was excited to get VeggieTales from Aunt Shannon & Uncle Terry



Since she loved the sleeping bag at Christmas, Uncle Terry gave her one! She has slept in it for a couple nights and most her naps since!
