Strawberry Birthday

I started asking Eliza a few weeks ago what kind of birthday cake she wanted.  She replied "strawberry."  That word was soon used to describe the entire birthday, though, so we've been referring to this birthday as the Strawberry Birthday.  I wasn't really sure what to do with that, besides have Eliza wear her strawberry outfit and eat strawberry cake, until a little idea dawned on me that morning.  Eliza should get strawberries at every meal!  Do we know how to do birthdays right in this family, or what?!?!  Talk about awesome.

Breakfast - toast with strawberry jam

Lunch - strawberry yogurt

Dinner (not pictured) - fruit salad with strawberries

Dessert - made-from-scratch strawberry cake

So, aside from a few gifts and blowing out the candles on her birthday cake, that was basically how we celebrated Eliza's birthday, haha.  But she didn't care.  She was just excited to get to say that she's 3 and to begin practicing holding up 3 fingers, which is rather difficult.

Jack chose to get Eliza a bouncy ball from the Dollar Spot in Target.

Cat bought her a set of 3 rubber ducks from the Dollar Spot.

(I just like this picture of Jack.  He was rather enthusiastic about the cake.)

Yeah for a fun and simple little birthday celebration for Eliza.

And yeah for a 3-year-old who didn't mind!
