Daphne got quite the party for her 3rd birthday. This is the first year that the birthday has mattered to her. The other two years we just had a nice, small brunch with friends. She has been so interested in birthdays lately that we decided to have a big party for her.

I invited everyone we know with kids over. We had some kid friendly food to eat (mac and cheese, chili, etc.) After dinner, we made popcorn and watched the short movie from Wall-E. The movie was a hit (as was the popcorn).

Lastly, we sang her a hearty Happy Birthday and ate Beet Chocolate Cupcakes with chocolate mousse topping.

The party was so laid back, and it really was a blast. All of my good friends attended as did all of Daphne’s good friends.

I couldn’t have asked for a better time for Daphne’s birthday.

This is the first of many to come in the future, I am sure!
