Irene's Birthday

Irene turned 3 on Friday.  She has seemed much less baby-like lately and I guess that is why!  Three is not really a baby anymore.

I asked her what she wanted special for breakfast and she said firmly, "Oatmeal."

We dropped by Publix and she had a ride in the car-cart - something she loves!

The big girls were at a musical theater camp last week, so Caleb and I took her to the zoo for the morning. 

This would have scared her a year ago!

And she requested a cake with a barn and horses.  The barn is made of graham crackers.  The walls really turned out nice, but the roof was sort of a mess.  (BTW, I discovered you can paint graham crackers with food coloring mixed with any sort of extract.)
