Emma's Third Birthday

Since Emma will turn FOUR on Sunday, thought I would post quickly about her third birthday.  She was begging me to make a hummingbird cake as that was her favorite bird all year.  She loves watching them eat from the feeder at my parents house and outside our kitchen window.  I was trying my hardest to figure out how I would make this request happen....and then decided to make a hummingbird feeder and somehow birds to go with it.  The feeder was fairly easy and I was able to include the blue sprinkles she wanted...and for the birds I just bought some at JoAnns and then put toothpicks in to make them into hummingbirds and stuck wire in to put around the cake.  SHE LOVED IT, whew!  This was the first year that she was really excited and anticipating her birthday so it made it a lot of fun to celebrate.  I think she was excited and in love with every single one of her presents.  And I have to say (since I am posting this a year late) that what I thought was going to be an annoying present and I would get rid of quickly, the Dora microphone has been a huge favorite or hers and a year later she still plays and sings with it.  She is our funny little girl that keeps us laughing!
