Our baby Janae turned three yesterday . . . and today we had a little Ariel party to celebrate.
We had a few tense moments putting it all together. Last night I stayed up late to bake the cake--and when I was checking on one of the pans, I managed to flip it over, spilling cake batter all over the oven (which started a small fire and filled the house with smoke). Then this morning I wore out our handmixer trying to make the icing.
But the look on Janae's face when she saw the cake made it all worthwhile :) She's been talking for months about wanting an Ariel cake, and even though it didn't turn out like "the picture," Janae was pretty happy with it.
She also had a great time with all the presents
(opening each one as soon as it arrived),
and playing with some of her cousins (something else she'd been talking about for the past few weeks--she really loves those girls!).
It was fun to have a day filled with all of Janae's favorite things--and I'm so grateful that this special (and spunky!) little girl is my daughter :)

Lisa, there is a gift in the mail from us too...sorry it's late! I can't believe Janae is 3!! What a big girl. Tell her happy birhtday from us and she should be getting a present very soon (I mailed in on Tuesday).
Thanks for inviting us to the party. We had a good time celebrating Janae's birthday #3.
