Happy Birthday Mariska

Since Mariska's birthday falls the day after Thanksgiving we had her birthday party with her Friends today. We had a lot of fun. Mariska's favorite movie right now is Shrek so we did a Shrek theme. The kids really seemed to have a good time and it was a lot of fun to chat and catch up with the mom's.
I am a really crummy cake decorator so we improvised and I call the Shrek cakes. The kids really liked them and they were cute.



Our first activity was play dough. Mariska loves to play with the dough and it was fun to see the moms helping the kids create masterpieces.


Mariska was a little hesitant about opening the presents. Her Friend Amy gave her a little baby doll and once we opened that it was all over. She didn't want to have anything to do with the other presents. Kids are really funny.

I loved watching the other kids when Mariska was opening her presents. Anytime she slowed down she got help. Kids at this age are so fun to watch.




Just like last year Mariska was eager to dive into her cake. I love the fact the she tried to slurp the worm that was on her cupcake. We had such a good time with our friends and we are grateful to have the friends we have. We love you all. Happy Birthday Mariska.
