Third time's a charm

Cute little Rebekah is finally 3. She was pretty excited about her birthday and about being a little older. We tried to make it special for Miss Noel so that it wouldn't feel like two Christmas days in a row. I think it definitely felt like a birthday, so maybe we succeeded.
She started out her day with a couple presents.



She picked cereal for breakfast with strawberries. This chick loves strawberries--too bad they are ridiculously expensive this time of year.


We took her to Burger King for lunch and to play in the only indoor play area in this town. We contemplated sledding, but when the wind chill makes it below zero, you think twice about it. So Burger King it was.




After the BK the kids watched Cinderella. Then she was in the mood to go out in the fresh Christmas Eve snow, so her and Dad went for a walk to look at Christmas lights. Alex came in to watch me finish up the cake. Bekah wanted a snake, so that is what we did. I've never heard of a 3 year old girl that wants a snake for a cake, but whatever.


Here is the 3 foot long beast.


The kids got to add their artistic talents to it.


Alex excited about the impending sugar consumption.


Here it is after they finished.


Blowing out her candles.

Yeah, it tasted pretty good, too.


After that were the rest of her presents.

All in all, it was a really fun day. Bekah is so funny and we love her to bits--can't imagine life without her. Thanks to our family for all the cards and gifts--she loved everything!

She is the cutest little girl, with such a winsome smile. Love that she wanted a snake cake and it still looked yummy after the kids got to it, not bad.

What a cute snake! I love the personality that choice shows. Bekah's such a pretty little pixie. I wish we lived closer. I hope you've all had a nice vacation and holiday stretch.

She is just adorable! I love the snake cake. I hope you saw the cake Chaundra made for Haleigh's birthday, it resembled a Barbie jumping out of a birthday cake :) Also, I just paid 5 bucks for stawberries yesterday! I can't help it, they're so good and it's the only fruit Evan will eat. The things we do for our kids!

The pictures are wonderful! A snake cake - that is original. I remember a snail and turtle in the family but no one asked for a snake. Love you all and miss you - Mom

That snake is awesome, Sarah! I wish I was there to help, just so I could brag about it. Bekah is darling, and Alex is really cute too (don't tell him I said that, though, otherwise he'll yell at me.) Can't wait to see you guys in a couple of months!! And by then there'll be a third mini Guymon in the mix!
