We celebrated Eleanor's birthday a little early today with a dinosaur birthday party. She was thrilled!! I got there early to set up and when she arrived later she spent about 10 minutes walking around and taking everything in. At one point I found her standing next to the cake, just staring at it with a huge smile on her face.
Come on in!
She requested these three dinosaurs on her cake
Pretzel stick pterodactyl nests with grape eggs
Hamosaurus sandwiches
Cheese stegosaurus spikes
T-Rex watermelon
Veggies, dip, and baguettes
Fossil sugar cookies
Dinosaur tails for everyone!
Swamp punch - the added lime sherbert made it extra swampy looking
Arthur loved the mirror
How many dinosaurs can fit in the little baby pool?
Eleanor sang the Happy Birthday song along with everybody else!
Mmm, cake!
Dinosaur baseball
(T ball with tails as bats)
Slipping into a sugar coma
Present time!
Sweet friends
Arthur enjoyed the party, too
Creating new dinosaurs
Because who doesn't love gluing feathers and pom poms?
All worn out!
Four years ago today I got the news that Ada no longer had a heartbeat at 23 weeks 5 days. Today I got to watch the pure joy on Eleanor's face as we celebrated her three years of life. What a day!

I can't believe that she is already 3 years old...Time seems to fly by. I love you guys and think of all of you all the time. I hope you are having a great summer.
What a wonderful way to celebrate! Just like Nohi helped me take back a painful date, Eleanor does for you too. :-) Love it.
And let me just say that you are so creative! No wonder Eleanor was in awe.
Hope tomorrow is gentle with you. Wishing both your beautiful girls a happy birthday this month!
