Mia's Birthday! We started the day at Build a Bear

(wish I was the guy that invented this) She was

very excited, I was picturing a girl bear, nope a boy

owl??

Trying to decide...

She found him..

looking at all the clothes

Giving the little heart a kiss to put in her owl

Taking it very serious

She named him "Bine"

She definitely enjoyed Build a Bear, we ended with 2 outfits

and some glasses and a cute little owl :)

I got her birthday party all set up while she was taking a nap

She came out and immediately went inside the castle

Rick built her. She loved it!

She immediately got out her dress up stuff and said she

needed to look like a princess for her Tangled party

sitting inside her castle

I decided to make Mia a Rapunzel Tower cake for her

Tangled theme. It was a super fun cake to make.The look

on her face was  priceless when I brought it out. I even

used chocolate rocks for the bottom. It was fun!

I placed Rapunzel on the top

All the Tangled characters on the bottom and then I colored

coconut to make the grass.

Grandpa B in the castle. She told him he was her first guest

We did a barbecue even though it was 100 mph wind outside,

her favorite meal is a hamburger

Aunt Brooke even came from Utah because she needed

some family time...Mia was really excited to see her and play!

This is the look on her face when she saw the Rapunzel

cake I made. It was priceless.

She just kept staring at it, so cute!

She wouldn't stop staring at it and she won't even

let me touch it now that her party is over, it is still

sitting on the table with everything decorated.

As soon as she saw the flip flops she said, Great mom

these are for the beach!

At one point, Mia stood up and said, " Hey guys,

This is the best birthday party ever!" We even got it

on video, my dad said it sounded rehearsed it was so cute!

She was so funny about opening her presents, because

she didn't get tired of it, she was enjoying every second.

She told Grandma and Grandpa M about wanting a chair

like dad's in his office, so they found her one !

She set it right next to his

They also got her hoolahoops, so Brooke and I tried

(don't mind me sticking my belly out, yuck)

Of course we had to get a nothing bundt cake to do the

actual candles. She was grinning ear to ear when we sang

to her.

Eating yummy cake

Here's her load!

oops need to get the chair in there

phew it sure is tiring having a big birthday party but it

was a great success!
