This week all thoughts of housework, moving and anything else normal have gone out the window as we celebrated not one, but two very special birthdays. The afore mentioned Miss C has turned the ripe old age of 3, while Ms G is celebrating a sweet 16. While Ms C is more than happy to pose for the cameras, Miss G has celebrated sans parents, so unfortunately I can’t share any photos of her Alice in Wonderland High Tea. So here’s the rundown on the 3yo celebrations.
The custom at Bloombub headquarters is to drag out birthdays for as long as you can milk them. While the official birthday was Tuesday, Miss C had playgroup cake on Tuesday morning, cupcakes at daycare on Wednesday, and a extravagant party in the park on Saturday.
The “Martha Stewart” in me takes over at birthday time, and the kitchen has been a bomb site of flour, chocolate, sprinkles and butter since Monday afternoon. I’m loading the dishwasher for the third time this afternoon and it’s still not all done! I have been planning the Ballerina Birthday party since mid-April, and have been busily crafting away for the party bags (no gratuitous lolly bags here!) and table decorations, as well as scouring craft and discount stores for many weeks for the perfect party accessories.
Here’s a pictorial history of Miss C’s celebratory week:

I just LOVE a good birthday! Next up is Daddy’s birthday, June long weekend…..
