Everything Eli: Happy 3rd Birthday to ME!

Hello everyone! I have great news. I am updating my blog as a THREE YEAR OLD, instead of a two year old now. So, if it sounds more grown up and mature, that is why. :) I officially turned 3 on Sunday July 12.

So most people celebrate their birthday on one day, their actual birthday. Not me. I had TWO birthday parties; one with my friends and family in Calgary and one with my friends and family in B.C. I sure am lucky.

The first party was the week before my birthday at Southland Leisure Centre in the Kinderroom. It has a big play structure in it. I had so much fun with my friends. At my party were my cousins Ashley and Jordan and my Auntie Jennifer, my friend Graysen and her Mommy Jen, my friend Owen and his Mommy who live right next door to me, my dayhome provider Julie, her husband Allan and her son, Dylan, Norah and her Mommy Amy and baby sister Rayah and Ashlyn and her Mommy Sara. Oh, and of course Mommy and Daddy were there too.

The Invitation

The highlight of they day was my birthday cake which looked like a lion! I had been carrying around this magazine from Grandma that had a picture of the cake in it and every few days I would ask Mommy if it was time to make the lion cake yet. When she did finally make it I was so excited! And I was even more excited when my friends started arriving for my party to show of my cake. It tasted as good as it looked too. Yum!

I got kind of shy when everyone sang Happy Birthday to me. I don't like all of that attention!

Happy Birthday to you

I had a really great day and got so many great presents. I got some Spiderman cars, a race track set, bubbles, clothes and lots of other great toys too.

Thanks everyone for making my 3rd birthday the best one yet!

Here are some more pics from my big day.

So spoiled

And last but not least, my birthday present from Mommy and Daddy

Now onto birthday party #2. Just like last year for my second birthday, I went to B.C. for my third birthday. We went camping at Loon Lake with Mommy, Daddy, Grandma and Grandpa, Auntie Jenny, Uncle Jason, baby Keira, Auntie Michelle, Uncle Darryl and baby Avery and Clinton, Larissa and my friend Leland. I love camping (sorry Daddy) and especially love sleeping in Grandma's trailer.

While we were there we went bowling in the States, swimming, boating and roasted marshmellows on the fire. I had so much fun playing with Leland. He makes me laugh. I'll admit we did fight sometimes, but that is because we are both stubborn three year olds! Grandma even watched all the grandkids and Leland while Mommy went shopping. She had her hands full.

Again I got spoiled and this time I had Spiderman cupcakes. I just love Spiderman! I also got a Spiderman costume, towel, more cars and a Spiderman electric toothbrush. I can't wait to go camping again soon.
