Amaya's 3rd Birthday

My princess is 3 years old. Where did the time go? *Sniff, sniff*

I am actually very happy to see her grow, the different stages she goes through and how much she has changed. BUT I have not looked at much of her baby photos so I haven't gotten teary eyed yet. So far, so good.

Monday, the 26th of April, we did a small celebration for her (her actual birthday). We had 2 small celebrations to be exact; the first one at playgroup and then another petite one at home. It was fun. And I cannot wait for her party on Sunday. She was so excited and happy that it was her birthday. A true birthday Princess!

Here are the photos, from the end of the day to the very beginning.


Cupcakes I baked for playgroup (we brought them to share with the class in celebration of Princess's birthday.)



The invitations I made for the party.



Fatty enjoying his gift.



Boobie enjoying his gift (they got in on the fun with Princess and got to open one present each in celebration.) You know how it is sometimes when you have more than one kid... everyone wants a present, even it it ain't THEIR special day. Oh well, didn't want any of my kids to feel left out.

Fatty cried all morning for a cupcake. When he finally got one, he ate it all up, paper and all.

Fatty jumped into the photo while I was trying to take one of the birthday girl. It seems he likes having his picture taken now.

Colegio Monterrey's Festival Deportivo

The Sports Festival at Colegio Monterrey was held April 16 and 17 and it was a pretty big event. This was me and Boobie's first experience of this sort at any of his schools. Yes, he's had events at his 2 previous schools before, but nothing on such a grand scale. We both enjoyed it.



Saturday 17. The Sweet House (Dulce Casa). Selling candies and chocolates for the 4th grade.


It was rainy earlier that Saturday but a good showing of people none-the-less.


A few moms who volunteered (myself included) and Boobie's 4th grade homeroom teacher.
