Celebrating 3 (again and again and again)

Xaris turned 3 in May, and we celebrated lots of times!  Since her birthday was a Wednesday (one of my long work days), she got cupcakes and balloons with her preschool class.   Her birthday party was a few weeks later, and we also squeezed a little celebration in while we were in California for Mother's day.
Pink cupcakes were what she chose for preschool.  Homemade treats are not allowed (state laws), so I had to order them.  I was not expecting HOT pink frosting (I had just requested pink).  This frosting stained--so all the little toddlers had pink fingers and faces for the rest of the day...and into the next.  Ooops. 




This is Xaris's friend Estella.  Without knowing, their mama's bought them the same t-shirt.  They were thrilled!  Estella is about 2 months older than Xaris--so they moved up to the "big kid" class at the preschool together!


Xari got a bike!  Which she helped put together.  



It took her awhile to get the hang of it.  She really isn't heavy enough to use weight to push the pedals, so it requires more strength from her, but she's doing better at it!
Swings after bike riding!

Her birthday party was a rainbow themed party.  We had a rainbow pool for the kids to play in, this is her and her friend Jack.  

Rainbow cake :)




Aunt Alisha made the girls rainbow shirts and tutus!
