Elle turns 3

This year we celebrated Elle's birthday in Utah. For breakfast she wanted Lucky Charms. Then, just before lunch, we took the kids to the pool in Brigham. We brought a cooler with watermelon, strawberries, raspberries, cracker and cheese, and chips. We tried to get there early and snag a table, but there was a line up 20 minutes before the pool even opened. Despair! We lucked out, though, and a table was available by the time we got in. Elle loved eating all of her favourite foods with her cousins and grandma and grandpa. It was way hot, and the waterslide was perfect for cooling us all off! I made vanilla cupcakes with pink icing and sprinkles at Elle's request. The heat was too much to bear by about 3 so we headed back to my parents' for the opening of gifts. She got a cooking set and skirt set from the Wilde Grandparents and a tinker bell with accessories from Max and Sam. Wendi and the kids brought her a puzzle, a fart maker, necklaces and bracelets. She was in heaven and we were so happy they came to play with us!
