Cohen Turns 3!!

Last Sunday was Cohen's 3rd birthday and the celebrating started on Thursday. This may be a LONG post so bear with me! We started by heading to Gainesville to celebrate with Grannie, Papa, Aunt Vicki and Aunt Danette. We had a great time with them. Just before we left for Gainesville Cohen & I finished her pinkalicious cupcakes for her preschool class. Cohen loves sprinkles so she had to put some on, even though they all just rolled right off. And of course she wanted to sample one immediately :) She has a pretty good sweet tooth, which is why her party this year was Cohen's candy shoppe! This was such a fun party to get ready for, I must admit. I think all the kids had a fun time and should have been nice and sugared up! I had to put a few pictures up of Cohen's FABULOUS cake! My friend Natalie in Charlotte has made Cohen's birthday cakes for me every year since she was 1 and she does such a wonderful job. These cakes are not only beautiful but they are delicious too. I look forward to seeing her creations every year! This year my friend Jessica made the trip down for Cohen's birthday and was sweet enough to bring the cake with her. A big thank you to Natalie and Jessica for that!!
Cohen was a little overwhelmed at first when everyone was singing to her. When they stopped and it was quiet I told her to blow out the candle and she just had a melt down right there. Daddy had to come in to help. After that though things were much better. This little girl has always been one to have to warm up to everything! Thanks to everyone who came and made her birthday party so special...and SWEET :)

Sunday, on her actual birthday, we had a fun family lunch. By this time Cohen was really into the "birthday" thing and had no trouble blowing out the candles. She really had a wonderful birthday and has loved her new bicycle from Uncle Davis and Morgan. I can't believe my baby girl is now 3! Where does the time go. I just look at her now and she is such a little girl, no longer a baby. Good thing I have a new little one coming soon so I can enjoy that baby stage again!
