Happy 3rd Birthday Amaya!

There's a three year old in our house! Didn't we just bring her home from the hospital? Didn't just celebrate her first tooth, first words, first steps? And now we're celebrating her 3rd birthday! According to Amaya, "everything fun happens when you're three." She enjoys taking Community Education classes and she's had to wait until she's three to take the Intro to Dance class (which we've enrolled her in and starts in the first week of February.) And, she's decided that now that she's three, she doesn't want to use her little potty anymore and wants to use the "grown-up" one. Can't wait to see what this year holds for this little princess!

Since her "Big Party" with her grandparents, aunt and uncle, cousins, and friends wasn't until Saturday the 22nd, we had a small party just the three of us on Thursday. We took her out for pizza at Godfather's. Yummy!

Played a few arcade games...

... and WON!

Can you tell this little girl looks up to her Daddy?

We headed back home in the bitter cold to open presents and have cupcakes. Amaya opened a few from us, one from her aunt and uncle in Colorado and one from my co-workers.

Amaya and my co-worker Pauline share a common interest....

... they both LOVE CHEETOS!

She got quite a few books from both her aunt and uncle and from Steve and me. She LOVES, LOVES, LOVES books - especially when they are Fancy Nancy!!

After presents, we had cupcakes. Amaya picked out which ones she wanted at Wal-Mart. No surprise here that she picked out Dora.

Happy Birthday, Amaya!

Delicioso!
