Look who's 3 (and who's 6 months!)

Myra turned 3 years old on Saturday! I can hardly believe it. And Vincent is 6 1/2 months old now too.

We had a 'fiesta' with 12 preschoolers and their parents at our house...it was so much fun. Ever since our time in Guatemala this winter, Myra has wanted a pinata for her birthday party...so we just did the whole fiesta-theme....right down to DELICIOUS Tres Leche cake! I have never seen something as hilarious as watching a bunch of 3 year olds trying to beat a pinata.

I'm attaching some Myra's 3yr and Vincent's 6month pictures. And a couple from Saturday.

I know there are lots of Hague babies approaching their 3rd birthday this month and in the coming months...so happy birthday to all of you!

Happy Birthday Myra!! What beautiful kids!! They look so perfect together! Looks like a ton of fun! The birthday cake picture looks like she's saying "All right with the singing already... I want to eat!" Too cute!

Happy Birthday to Myra!

Sounds like she had a terrific birthday party!

How was the cake? Was that the first time you had ever made it?

The pics are great. Of course, my favorite is them together!

Thanks for sharing,
D.
