Helena's 3rd Birthday a.k.a. the 'Pink and Purple Birthday'

Helena turned 3 this past Monday.  This birthday was very fun because she wanted certain things (two bikes and a scooter) and had definitely opinions about her birthday cake situation (pink AND purple cupcakes -- with the cake being pink and purple and the frosting too).

We got her a scooter (but not 2 bikes) and she was very excited about it.  She opened it up and said "It's a tooter scooter!"  What?!?  I have no idea where that came from.  Although she is into rhyming these days...  Ash took her around the block on it and it took them 45 minutes to get back home.  She kind of looks like a crippled old lady riding on it, but she'll get better with practice!

I took her to see Toy Story 3 at the theatre as part of her birthday celebration and we also went out to eat for chicken nuggets and french fries.  Pretty low key, but it was fun.

Some pics:

Hungry Hippos game was a big hit.  Side note:  the quality of the construction of the game is not what it used to be...at all.  I'll give this toy a month.

Happy Birthday H-Dog!  Man, I hope the next 3 years doesn't go by as fast as the last 3 have!  ;)

lol you gave her chicken nuggets?! did you read vik's beloved post about how those devil diglets are made?

lol...she's a hoot. she might just be an event planner when she grows up. i know of no other kid that involved in the decorating of a party...it's barbie or dora or princess and that's as deep as it runs.

We have the Hungry Hippos game - I was shocked and how poorly it was built! It has lasted since May, but is on it's last leg....so you may get a few months out of it! Love the cupcakes!
