So cute! What a fun age, enjoy it! We had the princess phase and now that she is over it, into the pop princess phase, I kind of miss the cute princess stuff.

For some reason I thought Bella was older than My Joanna who turned three on Halloween Day. Anyway, Bella looks thrilled. I am glad she had a great party!
Happy Birthday!

No, she is exactly one month behind - that is why I was asking you about the potty training, we are not having great success here!

Wow, I just don't get by here enough. I can't believe Bella is three and she is as beautiful as ever but all grown up since I've last been on the boards.
