Happy Birthday, Keira!

Tuesday is officially Keira's 3rd birthday but we celebrated yesterday. We have TONS of balloons. Rick decided to blow up the whole package that I bought thinking it would last us through at least a couple of birthdays. I guess that is what I get for buying a balloon pump to make blowing them up easier.
Blogger always jumbles up the pictures so these are in no particular order. Keira got to pick out her Mickey Mouse cake. It was way cute and she gets to keep the cool handy helper toy on top. Is anyone else WAY paranoid about their children's hair catching on fire from the candles? It happened to me on my 22 birthday and after that it has taken a lot for Rick to even convince me to let ANYONE have candles on their birthday cake. I haven't had them on mine since.
Elaina loved having all of her favorite people around all at once and really wanted to help open presents but we kept her away. I didn't want to her screams of "ENINA!" every time Elaina came even close to something. Keira is getting a little posesive these days. We are trying to learn to share.
Keira finally got that basketball hoop she has been dreaming about for months from her favorite parents. When Rick brought out the box she just stood there staring at it and clapping. She was so excited she didn't know what to do. She finally said "Open it!" I am sure we will have lots of pictures of her playing with it soon.
Keira is not really a girly girl. Part of that is me because I don't really foo foo up my girls but she also isn't really into dolls or things like that. She absolutly loves the princess outfit my mom got her though. It came complete with princess high heels but we don't have pictures of those for some reason. We will have to get on that. She wanted to play basketball in her princess outfit. What a modern girl!

We were so glad that everyone treked out to our house for a quick birthday party. Keira had so much fun and it was great to have her first birthday party where she really knew what was going on and anticipated everything. I love my girls.

Happy 3rd Birthday Keira!
