Three

On Wednesday, February 20th was Nadia's 3rd Birthday. We went to Martensville to celebrate with Grandpa & Grandma. In the morning Grandpa & Nadia hung out, he was the only one up when Nadia decided she was done sleeping. They watched shows, which Nadia loves. Then we got ourselves together and headed for the city. Of course the first few stops were not for Nadia, but the kiddos had fun riding in the cart and looking at stuff. Home Depot has become a regular stop whenever we visit Saskatoon. I guess owning a home begs for it.

But then we made it to Nadia's 1 requested place.....Starbucks! Do you think her daddy's coffee and goodie addiction has affected her at all. Is our daughter a yuppy? Anyway, we had a lovely lunch, Nadia had fries and ketchup (and chicken strips, but those are just fillers to her). And back to Grandpa & Grandma's house to open gifts. Nadia is modeling a sweater from Opa & Oma. She wore it all afternoon. And she would have worn it all day, but we didn't want to get cake on it. Colin can get up on all 4's and rock until he feels the urge to dive. He loves to get around like this and he's getting really fast.
This is an antique stained glass ladybug lamp from Oma. She always finds the most unique gifts. Nadia especially loves to have lamp raves with it...on & off, on & off.....
DVD's were a huge hit. She had to explain to Grandma what it was all about...even though she's never seen it before!
We went out for lunch yesterday and she wore her new tiara. She was so cute, and full of sparkles.
This is the first year Nadia enjoyed eating her birthday cake. At 1 she touched the icing and was weirded out. At 2 she didn't want to eat the ladybug cake Grandpa made...and it was soooo cool! But this year Nadia dove right into the yummy cake Grandma made.

I told Grandma I was making a chocolate cake for Nadia, so she made an angel cake, as Nadia calls it. Tomorrow is Nadia's little girl party and she has now informed me that she doesn't want chocolate, she wants angel cake. Well, here I go to do some convincing.
