Vera didn’t have a “party,” per se, this year, but she did have three birthday celebrations around or on her special day!
MiMi (my mom) visited the week before Vera’s birthday and brought an angel food cake to help her celebrate!
Vera was thrilled with her birthday gift… a trampoline! Vera said: “I weally love this bouncy thing!!”
Cordelia likes it too!
I love this sweet photo with MiMi.
On Vera’s actual birthday, I took both girls out to lunch, which was so fun. They were very well-behaved at the (sit-down) restaurant, and Vera had an ice cream sundae for dessert!
Per Vera’s request, I made homemade pizza with cheese and bacon for dinner, as well as salad (she loves salad!) and a chocolate cake!
Grammy called just as we were getting ready to sing to Vera, so she helped us serenade her with “Happy Birthday!”
Vera was not sure about all the fire on her cake!
Me & my sweet girl
The cake was delicious (thanks for the recipe, Ina Garten)!
The Friday after Vera’s birthday, Grandanny & Grammy came to see us too!
In addition to a delicious dinner, Grammy also made peach cobbler!
Vera finally got the hang of blowing out a candle!
We hope Vera treasures all of the memories from her third birthday! We love her so much!
