The birthday celebration started a week early with a small party while we were in North Carolina; Aunt Amanda made an amazing special "Zarina" cake at your request (Zarina is from the movie "The Pirate Fairy").
On the day of your birthday, you woke up to a fun balloon door that you thought was so neat.
You had a special birthday pancake with sprinkles and whipped cream for breakfast (this picture was taken just before your hair caught on fire a little bit!!...as I was reminding you to keep your hair back).
We spent the afternoon at the Michigan SeaLife Aquarium.
We ended the night with birthday cookie cake and presents.
You said you had a great birthday (you also said that birthdays and birthday cake is boring, but presents are fun). I don't know that you completely understand what birthday's are all about. At bedtime as I was tucking you in, I told you "happy birthday" one last time. You responded with, "why do you and Daddy keep telling me that?".

We let you pick out a toy from the gift shop and Daddy and I both were hoping you'd pick one of the cute stuffed animals (I really wanted you to get the little mermaid doll that you first picked out), but you ultimately decided on the pirate hat and sword.

You're becoming very witty. For example, Daddy takes you to gymnastics twice a week and you recently climbed almost to the top of the big rope that hangs from the ceiling. That night at bedtime, Daddy told you "night night big rope climber". You thought for a few seconds and responded "night night gymnastics sitter watcher".
