We celebrated Nina's third birthday with an Easter dinner. I am amazed at how a year flies quickly by, and am grateful for these markers in the ground to stop and celebrate life. Here is the birthday girl about to blow out her candles all by herself!
When I initially asked Nina what she wanted me to serve at her birthday dinner, she said "Mac and cheese!" Although my family members have adaptable and discerning palates, I knew I wanted to kick it up a notch from the commonplace Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. So I made a gourmet mac and cheese. I like to call it "grown up mac and cheese"... so yummy. We also had chicken parmesan, and roasted asparagus.
I am glad that Nina's cake looks decent, because I immensely botched up the frosting and had to have Tom run out to save my tail. Finding food items on Easter can be a challenge since the grocery stores are closed, so Tom performed a miraculous feat indeed.
I loved watching Nina with her new porcelain tea set afterwards, pouring and sipping so daintily.
This is the photo birthday banner I made, but the pictures of it didn't turn out very well. I was inspired by the birthday party HERE
Beautiful! The picture idea has inspired me too. It's such a great way to celebrate the life of the person who's celebrating a birthday.
