Party Girl



We had our playgroup friends over on Tuesday for some pizza and cake.  We went with a Dora the Explorer feel.  Even though Gwen isn't really interested in watching the show, she loves looking at Dora and asked for the decorations while we were in the store.  The morning of the party, we went to the grocery store to pick up some balloons, which she was super excited about!  During the party, I'm pretty sure that Gwen knew everyone was here to celebrate her birthday, she was excited, smiling, and super energetic the whole time.

I was so happy that her birthday fell on a Wednesday this year.  DANCE CLASS!  She is obsessed with dance class, and I think she felt extra special with all of her friends wishing her a happy birthday.  And, bonus, Gram was able to meet us for class and do some dancing with the birthday girl.  That night we sang and had some leftover birthday cake.

On Sunday, we had our family party.  We had a nice dinner, and of course her lovely Dora cake!  We were happy to be able to FaceTime with Annie Annie, Aunt Kris, and Nana & Papa.  Amazing what we can do these days with technology!!









The making of Gwen's Dora cake (what a good daddy):





By the end of the week, we had so many little birthday celebrations that Gwen would sporadically sing "Happy to me..." and ask for cake.  haha
