Lizzi’s 3rd Birthday – May 2

Elizabeth turned 3…I don’t know where the years have gone but they have gone by very fast…4008

Each year a special day comes around and some of us look forward to it while others just want it to go by…But little kids love it when it is their day…Balloons, Cake or Cupcakes, Party Favors, Drinks, Games & then the Presents…This day was no exception for our 3rd granddaughter, Elizabeth…

Brandi came up with a very good idea for a cake…Cupcakes put together with icing going across all the cupcakes…Then decorate it…Wow!  What an awesome idea and all the kids/adults liked having their own cupcake(s)…Brandi did a great job on her daughter’s cake…

Lizzi don’t realize that her “ears” are on backwards…but she had a blast taking her Princess crown ears on and off…Her Princess Mickey Ears was bought at Disney when Brianna was on vacation…We thought Lizzi was coming to Disney in March for a few days…What a better surprise than on her birthday…

Here is the little Princess spinning in her Princess dress…She looked so beautiful in her pink & black dress…It’s a wonder that her ears didn’t fall off…

One of the birthday presents that Elizabeth received was that she wanted her ears pierced…There is a friend of Brandi’s, Gary, who wanted to get her ears pierced as her present…But it turned out that the price was a bit more than we both anticipated so we joined in the present cost…It take Lizzi forever to pick out a “nice” pair of earrings…She did a wonderful job in not crying…Talk about being proud of a little girl who should have cried when the first earring went in her ear…Lizzi picked out little diamond earrings…
