Sara's birthday was last month, just a few days after Christmas. She's three years old already! We celebrated with my family in California.
Sara requested a kitty cake. This is what I came up with. I'm not too proud of it (I thought it looked like a grampa cat) but Sara loved it, and it tasted good, so that's the most important part I guess. Thanks to my sis-in-law for helping and imparting her cake decorating wisdom! She has much more experience than I do in this department.
Sara's other request for her cake was that it be pink. I opted for pink cake with yellow frosting. We put a little lemon extract in the frosting and it was tasty!
Here's what happens when you ask kids to say "Happy Birthday!" for a picture. :)
"Happy Birthday to You..."
Blowing out the candles! (with crazy eyes, and a little help from her cousins)
After blowing her candles out, Sara said, "K, now let's get Daddy's birthday." -- so generous to share her big day with her daddy, whose b-day isn't until later this month. :)
Sara got lots of great gifts. While opening them, she kept saying cute things like, "WOW!" or "I wonder what it is?!" -- she loved everything she got. Some extra special gifts included a porcelain tea set I had when I was a little girl, and a quilt my mom made.
Sara loves her cousin Kaya. When it was time to leave a few days after her birthday, Sara said, "I want to take Kaya with us!" They are best buds. I hope it stays that way as they get older!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARA!
P.S. just for fun, here's a look back at Sara's other birthdays:
