Week 244 and Week 156.5 - Sophia's 3rd birthday

Sorry the post part of this post is going to be short (lots to do before Christmas - yikes!) - but lots of pictures below!

Sophia had a field trip to the beach where her class played on the playground and rode these motorized bikes!  A bit rainy but fun!

This whirly doo was a big hit!

Sophia on the bike - sorry not many photos as I was busy making sure she was not running over curbs!

Sophia's birthday dinner at Hard Rock Cafe:

Sophia got an awesome balloon:

And got to sit on a stool:

We bought a car for Sophia's birthday!

And we had a party (and were blessed with great weather)!  We had "Grinch" Santa hats (thanks Pinterest!):

This cookie pizza was such a hit at Sophia's school I made it again:

A festival of dips - homemade salsa, spinach and artichoke dip (and pizza dip!) and Korean BBQ ribs:

Oh, and we bought a bouncy castle for the occasion.  It was a huge hit!

Dawan - also a big hit:

We did a round of Pass the Parcel:

Sophia and her new bunny friend - sadly it did not last the whole day:

Reuben in for the steal:

Veronica's brilliant cake -the Olaf is a cool Japanese jack-in-the-box toy:

Taking a closer look:

Thanks Sam for taking some photos!

Family shot:

Yummy chocolate inside:

And we played outside a bit on Sunday.  Dawan gets us out of the house!

Sophia's flat winter hair:

Our first Dawan bath - the girls were good at brushing her fur out:
