birthday week

Mira has had a marathon birthday this year. I hope we haven't set the bar too high for ourselves. Last weekend we traveled to Grandma's and Grandpa's house and had a party there. Tuesday (her actual birthday) included her favorite dinner (chicken "on the bone"), a new Hello Kitty bike and ice cream at Friendly's. Then we had ANOTHER birthday party at our house today with in-town family, friends and of course the princess castle bounce house.

Here are some pics to chronicle the week.

Mira gearing up to blow out her candles at Grandma's and Grandpa's last weekend.

Now she's a little tired from a long day.

Here are the birthday cakes that I almost trashed after an epic failure with the buttercream frosting (but I later regrouped and made another batch).

Here's the bouncy house and then Mira about to "board".

Making a wish and then getting a big ol' birthday kiss from her little sister.

A great day, but we were all exhausted at the end. Even Mickey.
