Birthday Fun

Yesterday was Lacey’s third birthday.  I still can’t believe she is three.  She had three friends (<--all boys) come over for lunch and then we had a family party in the evening.   I tried to keep it simple this year.  The theme was Curious George which was her idea. Not super girly but then again Lacey has turned into a little tomboy.  However, she is a tomboy who loves to wear dresses which is extra fun.

Lacey’s little party is hardly blog worthy compared to most parties in blogland.  I didn’t make the decor or create the invitations.  I do think though that it was just what she wanted.

I made her an ice cream cake because Lacey did not like the cake I made for her first two birthdays.  She simply does not like cake.  I’m not sure how she can be my child and not like cake.  If she wasn’t my mini-me I’d seriously think there was a mix-up at the hospital.  Who doesn’t like cake?

Lacey does have my appetite.  She ate two huge slices of pizza in addition to a plate full of snack food and fruit.  Hopefully, she gets my insanely good metabolism too.  <-- don't hate on the skinny girl

I made blueberry muffins (from the box- that counts, right?) yesterday morning and I thought Ms. Lacey would be super excited.  Well, she took one bite and said, “I want a real blueberry muffin.”  Umm… huh?  ”Like the kind Daddy gets.”  Yep, she wanted a grocery store muffin.   That is what I get for waking up 45 minutes early to make muffins.

I didn’t want to have cake twice in one day so I did ice cream treats for her friends at lunch.  Check out my creation.

I rolled mini ice cream sandwiches in sprinkles.  Fun, easy and cute.  The kids loved them.  They were super excited about the sprinkles.  Who am I kidding? I love sprinkles too.

Not exactly tutorial worthy but here is a pic of the process.

Let ice cream sandwiches soften for a few minutes.  Fill a plate with sprinkles.  Roll the ice cream sandwiches in the sprinkles.  Eat.  Yum.

Tomorrow I will feature the ice cream cake.
