Aleena's Third Birthday Bash

Aleena's third birthday was filled with a lot of celebrating for two whole weeks. She had her best friend, Sophia, to celebrate both of their birthdays at Disneyland. Then we kept on celebrating. I was relieved from not throwing a huge party. This was much more fun.

Aleena's birthday cake request was quite detailed, "Pink cake, with polka dots, and a Minnie Mouse toy." I made a chocolate cake with strawberry filling and luckily found these Minnie Mouse figurines. I seriously spent way too much time trying to find the right color, size and price for these Minnies. Of course the last place I looked, it was right down the street. Figures. Aleena loved it and that's all that matters.

Her birthday dinner was pepperoni pizza. I made them the shape of Minnie.

Singing to Sophia and Leena. Each took a turn in blowing our their three candles.

Getting ready to go to bed.

Having a hard time sleeping. Too much excitement for Disneyland. What's a slumber party without little sleep??

Minnie mouse-blueberry pancakes for breakfast.

Meeting some princesses was a highlight.

Our favorite Twin family...the Lees.

Birthday Celebration Part 3: Birthday Date with Mom

I took Aleena to get her hair trimmed by her one and only stylist, Corinne, at Toni and Guy. Corinne's been cutting Aleena's hair since she was a baby and had a horrible fauxhawk. She loved sitting in the chair and getting pampered. Everyone thought she was so cute.

Then I took her to see Tangled. She loved eating popcorn and drinking soda. I loved the one-on-one time with Aleena. She is a sweet, loving daughter and I am proud to be her mommy.
