Happy Birthday to my 3 Year Old!!

I love traditions. Last year, we started Julia's birthday traditions...a birthday door and following the string for birthday surprises. Her eyes lit up when she saw her door and realized today (Friday) was finally the day.

I think she really did remember following the string to her birthday surprises. She started in her room and went into the den...

(Yes, notice my camera on the floor. It broke - on my baby girl's birthday of all days.)

to the breakfast table and through the kitchen...

then dining room....

through the living room...

the front entry....

and back to the den...

 And she ended the morning by getting to eat breakfast in her bed while watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. She loved it!

I am so glad Julia got to be in America for her birthday this year! Nana got to celebrate her morning birthday fun with her. Such a special time. And it was WAY easier to have and find stuff to make birthday special....balloons, decorations, small little gifts that weren't absolute junk that would break in less than a day. We LOVE birthdays!!!
