Princess For a Day

Happy 3rd Birthday Sydney!

We've had a fun time celebrating Syd's day! We've been talking about it for so long, that she didn't believe it was her birthday when she woke up this morning. She came out to the kitchen table decorated with a fancy princess tableplastic (it's not a tablecloth), and presents. She opened her presents from us and G'Weezie and Daddy Ray. We got her a dress-up chest--which I thought she would love. WRONG. She won't put on a single gown or fake beads. Whatever! We also got her Cinderella figurines, which was a hit, along with the Tinkerbell shirt and princess towel Weezie and Daddy Ray sent. The Tinkerbell shirt says, "Sassy but lovable." So true!



After presents, I blessed Sydney with her favorite breakfast, orange pancakes. She ate 5 pancakes smothered in buttery syrup which seemed to hold her for the entire day since she couldn't manage to choke down any "dinner"...more on that to come.
Meanwhile, Aunt Erin and cousins Nicole and Cher came over and brought Syd a beautiful balloon bouquet. One special mylar princesses balloon played a cheerful and annoying version of "Happy Birthday" every time you touched it or looked at it. Don't worry Erin, I'll be sure and return the favor!!! Sydney really loved it!
Grandma and Grandpa Jensen also stopped by with a present for Sydney. A new doll and a cute little puppy that went with it. She was thrilled and felt so special to have more visitors.
After Syd's birthday nap we went to Red Robin for supper. When the waiter came to take our order, Sydney kept demanding she only wanted french fries for dinner. Finally, I decided, it's her birthday, throw all nutrition out the window, and I ordered her fries and a milkshake. When her food came, she freaked out because the steak fries were too thick. The shake was mighty tasty though.
To finish up our marathon birthday celebration, we took the kids to see "Kung Fu Panda." Midway through the movie, Syd announced that she was STARVING (wonder why) and wanted a drink and some popcorn. Of course, we got it for her...

Back to rules and regs tomorrow...should be fun!
