Happy 3rd Birthday Princess Diedre!

opening a gift from us after derek got home early from work...its mostly clothes so she was just pulling them out and not even looking at them, ha ha!

she got a movie, Aladin. i was trying to find a "princess" movie that wasnt scary (like Cinderella) but this one was very scary...probably 1/3 of the movie was Jafar and evil stuff...Disney! why do they market princess to little girls, but their princess movies are scary??

ezekiel loves tissue


opening her card online with Grammy & Grandpa Salmon over skype

a doll house! so cool, i'll get a better picture with her playing with it in the next couple days

we ran out of time to do anything "fun" since derek came home two hours later than planned, so we drove to Tim Horton's for a timbit and she fell asleep in the van then we went straight to swim lessons. she is soooo shy at swim lessons. the pic quality was terrible if i cropped it, but you can see how she has her head down while the teacher talks to her.

ezekiel loves the water too

i had to get in the water with her but she is finally starting to have fun here

wandering away from the group again...

having fun now

my handsome/cute/beautiful family walking together to watch some ice skating.

back at home, i decided to have diedre help me decorate the princess cake since i had no parents to impress (ha ha)

ezekiel was not loving the waiting for cake time...

the candle is lit

i missed her blowing it out :(

i asked her to pretend she was blowing it out--cute!
