HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS GABRIELLE!!!!

Yesterday was a BIG day for my niece. She turned three years old and actually had "friends" over to celebrate. Now, as adults, when we have a birthday celebration (for those of you that still do), it all starts off with appetizers, conversations, maybe a few cocktails...you may or may not get to the cake. Well, there were a bunch of kids of various ages, celebrating with Miss Gabrielle yesterday! The first, most important way of doing things with kids it cutting through the chase and getting to the cake. As SOON as the kids walked through the door, you could hear the collaboration of them chanting, "Eat cake, eat cake, eat cake"....even those that were really too young to speak the words clearly! :-) So, the cake was cut and gifts were open and then in was the piñata....watching those little ones beat the number three in hopes of breaking it open to gather all the candy! It was a site to see!

The day ended with popcorn and a Madagascar movie! Little Miss Gabrielle was a bit overwhelmed with all the gifts and fun with her friends.

Oh, and we cannot overlook the leopard print pants that Auntie Tonya got her! I'm the only one that can get away with giving such a gift. Little Miss Gabrielle was posing with her Madagascar stuffed animals. She thought they "went" with her pants!
