I'm 3

March 27, 2011
Addi turned 3 and is very proud. She tells everyone "I'm 3!" She has been into Dora lately, so we threw her a Dora birthday party.

Everyone was given either a Dora backpack or a diego rescue pack. I sewed 20 backpacks the week before her birthday and filled them with party favors and things they would need on their adventure. All the kids were told that swiper swiped our pinata and we needed to get it back.

First Map told us we needed to go through rainbow tunnel. We also had to keep our eyes open for explorer stars [star stickers] so to help us get through the tunnel and find the explorer stars we check backpack for something to help us. Each child and a small key chain flash light in their backpack.

Once we made it through rainbow tunnel, Map told us to go through balloon forest, but told us to watch out for wild balloon animals. In order to scare away the balloon animals each child had a noise maker in their backpack.
Lastly the kids had to climb cupcake mountain where they found the pinata that Swiper had swiped.

It was a ribbon pull pinata, because although I might be crazy enough to throw a birthday party for over 20 3 year olds I am not crazy enough to give them a bat.

Everyone had fun collecting their prizes.

Even boots made it to the party.

I made Addi a Dora cake and although it didn't look perfect it was really really good.

And we made cupcakes for everyone at the party.

Addi was spoiled and even though we said guest didn't need to bring presents she received lots of them.
She was one happy three year old.
