Miniature Golf!

We played mini-golf the other day! It was so much fun! I laughed so hard watching these two little trouble makers. And the whole time I was thinking, "Why did we wait so long to introduce them to this game?"

Brianna would get down on the ground and hold her club kind of the way a cue stick is held for playing pool.

Eli held his club backwards quite a bit of the time, and would sometimes push the ball into the hole instead of hitting it in.

They had a blast! Eli asked as soon as we got in the car, "Can we play again tomorrow?" We told him we might come back for his birthday.

Random side note: Is this game more commonly referred to as "putt-putt" or "mini-golf?" For some reason I've always called it "putt-putt" but when I was telling people here that's what we did, they didn't know what I was talking about until I said, "mini-golf." What do you call it?

Happy Birthday Brianna!

Brianna had a birthday a couple of weeks ago! I can't believe she is already three! My kids are growing too fast. Here is the birthday girl in all her glory.

It was a princess party theme, so this is her castle piñata I made. She is wearing a flamenco dress that I found at a garage sale. I'm not entirely sure why she chose to wear this one. She also has some princess dress up dresses.

 We played pin the kiss on the frog. Brianna won!

 And of course, she wanted a princess cake. This is the first one I've ever made.

 I doubt it will be the last.

Here she is opening her favorite gift. She refers to it as, "my Dora baby."

Thanks, beautiful girl, for being part of our family. We love you and all the smiles you bring us!
