We celebrated Wren’s 3rd birthday at her favorite park last weekend with a “turquoise” party. Her first birthday featured orange and pink and her second featured purple. I wonder what next year will bring? 4, what?! Yikes.

There was ample sunshine after a long morning of heavy rain, wind, thunder and lightening. Phew. Lots of smiles from the little birdie amidst her buddies – she just loves a party! And no meltdowns. She’s becoming such a big girl.

We had fun making this number “three” pinata for the party after Wren kept seeing a Dora pinata at the store. She really wanted one and I really didn’t want one… I tried to tell her, “but Wren, you wouldn’t want to hit Dora, would you?” To which she looked at me, exasperated: “Mama, it’s not really Dora. It’s a Dora PINATA.” Duh. We got her involved in making it and Dora was forgotten. For now.

More on the pinata making process soon. Stay tuned!

Oh little birdie, we love you so much. Happy birthday!
