Maliyas Party

Maliya turned 3! She had a princess tea party (surprise, surprise!!), she invited all her girl cousins over in princess attire and had a feast! The spread included Snow White's Apples, Jasmine's Jellies, Bell's Blueberry Muffins, Cinderella's Cranberry Crumpets, Sleeping Beauty's Scones, Ariel's Sea Tarts and Pink Princess Punch. The girls had so much fun ordering us around telling us when they needed more food or drink (You would not believe how much they ate!! Thanks again Becky for the help). After the food we played "Pin The Crown On The Princess" and the kissing game. Each girl put on lipstick and then was blindfolded. I had a poster filled with pictures of frogs and princes. They had to kiss the poster and see who they kissed.They had a blast with this game. Next it was time for the boys and the rest of the family to come over for gifts and cake! Maliya hit the jackpot this year. She got some really cute clothes, dolls, and tons of princess stuff. We got her a bike and a doll house. The doll house is so cute and we have had so much fun playing in it together, even dad plays with us! (the house is taller then she is). After gifts we had princess cake. I decided to make the cake myself and I think i did a pretty ok job. The roses could have been better but it was my first attempt :) it was alot of work but I had so much fun doing it (Matt was such a big help I would have gone crazy with out him there, sure love you babe!) Maliya really enjoyed her party and afterwards she said "Mom, I love you". After her party Maliya got to have a sleepover at her cousin's house, she thought that was pretty cool. The next day we left for a 4-day family reunion (poor girl didn't get to enjoy her presents for long) we had so much fun up in the mountains. Lucky for us a friend let us use a camp trailer with a bathroom in it! Camping at 7 months pregnant wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was glad we could go and see all the cousins and relax a little. When we got home it was like her birthday all over cuz she got to play with all her new toys! I can't believe she's three now and that we have one on the way in the next month. Life is getting crazy but I love it!
