We celebrated Emily’s 3rd BD yesterday with friends & family

The main event for Emily’s 3rd BD was “Happy Birds”, a performing parrot show

Seven beautiful & friendly parrots entertained us all and Emily even got a kiss from pretty “Piper”

This particular bird is a trainee to the show.  Emily is feeding him an almond.

The bird show consisted of various birds riding a bike, riding a scooter, singing songs, making other animal impersonations, skateboarding, opening water bottles, etc.

Max was an active participant in the audience with lots of questions for the “Bird Lady”.  He loved it!

Piper wants to give Max a kiss,

but Max holds back …

Megan must’ve stood there for 10 minutes slowly cooking hers

The first words out of Emily’s mouth yesterday morning were: “Today is my dance class!  Right, mommy?”

I said, “Yes” and she responded “YEAH!” 

Emily loves her ballet class with Teacher Rachel & her good friend, Megan

Not too mention the pink outfit & fluffy multi-layered  fiesta tutu

Looking thoughtful as she stands on her tip toes

Posing in the mirror

Emily & Megan wore matching fiesta tutus in class yesterday

Emily would look at her tutu and then look at Megans? 

She finally realized that they had the same tutu!

Megan’s mom and I are looking forward to the performance at the end of the session.

First ride … the animal caroussel

Emily chose a gray leopard with a fish in it’s mouth.  Of course, “brown puppy” joined her for the ride

Sweet Emily

Megan & Emily are both 35 inches high so they missed out on some of the bigger rides.  They needed to be 36 inches!

Enjoying the ride

There was also a petting zoo!  Emily was saying hello to the baby goat.

She enjoyed petting them and introducing them to her brown puppy.

Poor Max.  He saw the pictures on the computer and said, “Mommy, where was I?”    Max was in preschool this morning so we had a little girl’s outing.
