A Fancy Nancy Birthday

While we were home, we celebrated Vivienne’s 3-year birthday. (We’ll be celebrating it again on the 24th with Ryan’s family; stay tuned for the second round of photos!) I found all of the decorations for less than $5 at two garage sales that I somehow “knew” I needed to visit. ‘Lot’s of fun with a “Fancy Cupcake Contest” and “Fancy Dress-up Relay”.

Everyone “came fancy”!

And took the cupcake contest very seriously…

If I had time, I would analyze these cupcakes and write a report about what the decoration says about each person’s deep inner 3-year-old. But, I’m hoping to squeeze in a nap while the little girls are sleeping. So, I’ll leave the analysis up to you.

Anyway, to spunk up your day, play this “Which Cupcake Would You Choose?” contest. The rules: choose a cupcake! (Official results appear at the end.)

    I honestly cannot stand all the cuteness in this post! First of all the birthday girl – she is as scrumptous as the cupcakes – ADORABLE – and look at that last shot! How can your baby be three?!

    Second of all? Your hot bod. It’s hot. And you JUST had a baby. I’m trying not to be bitter – lol. You look AMAZING. Please post your exercise/diet secrets. Love your dress!

    Lastly. The cupcakes. They are all wonderful in their own way. But I’m going to pick Mark’s as my favorite. Clearly, YOURS is the best workmanship though πŸ˜‰

    This is about when I start wishing for a little girl around here. πŸ™‚ Maybe I should have a cupcake decorating party for *my* next birthday. πŸ™‚

    I vote for Ryan’s because I’m a circle junkie, LOL.
