Jenna's Birthday

Okay, in one last catch up blog I thought I should put up some photos of the birthday girl. We had a crazy week and in order to have a dinner with all the family we had to have it early. It ended up that we had three days of parties/birthday stuff for her- she had a REALLY good week!

The Family Dinner Party

Jenna got to pick out the meal. When I asked her what she wanted her response was "...well, we have to have strawberries..." Think she has enough on her waffles. She skipped over the cut ones and put huge whole ones on instead.

The Cake

Notice the requisite chocolate cake with even more strawberries- this girl could eat a package of strawberries every day!

The Birthday

Normally I take a photo of her on her birthday but I must have forgotten.

The day of the birthday she was able to open the traditional gift on the bed. (My mom would leave us a present on our bed on our birthday that we could open as soon as we woke up and we didn't have to wait for anyone else.) Jenna is still learning that she doesn't have to bring it out of her room to open - but Spencer has it all figured out. She also got to open gifts from Gma and Gpa Ashford.

That night she got to eat more cake and the Cub Scout Blue and Gold Dinner. The theme this year was Chinese New Year. Every year they have a scout and father (or other adult) cake decorating contest. This year Spencer and Nate made a Chinese Checkers cake. It was a big hit and I will have to get the photos off Nate's camera to show later. So while Jenna didn't get her own celebration for her birthday she got to taste at least 2 different cakes for dessert.

The Friend Party

We switched up our usual routine and had a birthday party somewhere other than our house. Jenna is our crafty girl so we went to Michael's for her party. The girls had a fun time decorating jewelry boxes and making bracelets.

Even Grokkie and Jill had a good time making bracelets!


We had a fun week and Jenna was very cheerful telling everyone about her 3 birthdays that she was having- all in one week too! Funny how she only gained 1 year in age though. It being a leap year - I think she had a couple of people wondering if she was a leap year baby but no.
