Paige's 3rd Birthday

What a great way to have your birthday start - with a delivery! G & G Stickel sent flowers to Marina on her birthday in August and Paige was really bummed that there weren't any for her. So Grandma Stickel came through again and the delivery guy was really fun. He asked for the special birthday girl and made her very excited for her own flowers, balloon and bear!
I think that is a VERY happy face.
Craft time - we made treasure boxes. Nothing better than wielding a paint brush covered in glue.
Kids table - Malia is sitting next to Marina, Lindsey is across from Paige and Kenrick & Anthony Vail are on the left.
Brunch was yummy - Don made waffles, we had breakfast casserole, pastries and fruit kabobs. Morning turned out to be a fun time to have a birthday party. We usually have them late afternoon/evening.
The cupcakes were monster - even the adult had a hard time polishing one off.


Paige thoroughly enjoyed her birthday. She loved it when we sang to her and she let out an appreciative squeal for every present. But she did not get distracted - she made quick work of our mountain of gifts. Her focus never wavered.
Ahhh -- another family picture with smiling adults and distracted children.

Happy Birthday, Paige! Can hardly believe you are three! Wish you were here to play in the snow with Carlin and Kyle!

Looks like a good time was had by all! They say '3' is when birthdays become 'real' to the kids! Looks like Paige 'really' knew what what happening :-)
