Last Saturday, Zanna turned 3! Dora was the theme of the day as you can see by her cake. She also dressed up for the occasion just in case there was a question as to who the princess of the day was. You'll likely notice I did not make the cake - it's store bought which I have been known to do. She wanted Dora and the one at the grocery store was awfully neat. It was a hit! I also did not venture into the "kids party" at this point. I went back and forth on it but finally decided that I've got one year left to get away with it. For this year we kept it to the visiting grandparents and godparents. In keeping with the Dora theme we did tacos and all the fixings which the kids LOVE!
Some of the gifts she received was - well, dress up clothes from us. As you see she's really into it. She's got one dress she got at Christmas and she's worn it almost everyday since. It's so torn but she still loves it. She now has a purple one to choose from and some play heels. It was still all about the American girl doll (known as Mei Mei in our house). Mei Mei received more clothes and a beautiful trundle bed that she shares with Rou Rou. Zanna got a lovely purple dress to wear along with a matching one for Mei Mei. She also got some princess themed tablewear, an Oxford University t-shirt from across the pond. And a big part of the day was the moving out of the toddler bed and bringing in the big girl bed. Her room looks so grown up now!
