Three cute farmgirls

Taking a little break on the Gator from feeding calves with Aunt Ali on Memorial Day weekend

Backblogged: Cora's 3rd birthday - December 18, 2010

You may notice a theme.

Yellow miniature roses

[Yellow] Pumpkin soup

 Homemade dinner rolls made with lard (one of Cora's favorites)

 Yellow cake with yellow frosting and homemade yellow ice cream

 The birthday girl in a yellow shirt with a yellow ponytail holder...

 ...(who does NOT like to be the center of attention)...

 ...but with a little help from her older (but not bigger) sister, she was able to get the candles blown out.

 Hiding behind a pile of yellow presents, which included...

 a yellow Funshine Care Bear costume...

 yellow tennis shoes (because she still insisted on wearing only her yellow crocs)...

 yellow memo pads and colored pencils... among other things.

 [I adore this hair, these eyelashes, cheeks and lips.]

 ...all followed by a nap with Grandma Gwennie.  Sounds like a pretty fun third birthday!

And I just had to capture this on video.  I think that by "at" Miriam actually meant "for"  :)

A first...

I painted our girls' toenails for the first time today.  Cousin Naomi had her toenails painted when we were all together a week ago and Cora has been asking me to paint hers ever since.  As you'll see from the picture, there was obviously no pedicure involved... we actually painted their nails at the playground so Walker was adequately entertained.  The pretty toenails quickly got scuffed up and the feet got dirty, but that's perfectly okay with this mommy!

And here's this guy just because he's cute.
