Saturday Evening, February 21

She loved her #3 balloon from Aunt Lydia.

Supper was the first thing on the evening’s agenda. Delicious homemade pizza by Abby, fruit salad, and a 7-layer salad from Grandma Luanne. (Nathaniel’s mom).

Renee seemed to feel a bit awkward when she became the center of attention as we sang Happy Birthday to her.

She didn’t want to blow out her candles and asked her dad (Nathaniel) to do it. He waited a while and pretended to be blowing, thinking she would join him, but she didn’t. 🙂

She giggled when he blew them out.

These three (Garth, Renee, and Natalie) used a folding chair as a boat (rocking back and forth) saying they were going to the North Pole.

The first present she opened was a wrap-around cat pillow which Grandma Luanne made from an idea she saw – I think on Pinterest. She is incredibly talented in sewing.

Garth loved its comfort.

Luanne eventually ended up with the gift pillows on her lap.

Renee got a tiny tea set which she loved.

She loved her stuffed Highland Cow from Grammy Diane.

She got several fancy things to wear so the girls can have a tea party – necklace, fan, gloves.

Natalie trying out the fan

Eventually Natalie and Jazzy joined Grandma Luanne on top of the animals.

Enjoying a “water” tea party.

Garth was more into wearing his siblings to-large-for-him shoes. 🙂

Three-year-old birthday parties are so much fun.
