Happy Birthday Lola

(( Lola turned 3 on the 26 of June.. ))

For at least a month and a half Lola had been telling anyone and everyone that she was going to have a purple Tinker Bell birthday party. So, when it was time for her ACTUAL birthday I had to deliver a Tinker Bell birthday party… and hope that it had purple!  Now, the selection on the base is just pathetic so I really wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to get the Tinker Bell.. and after going many times to the toy store on base I was overly disappointed because they had NOTHING in the Tinker Bell department.  However, the day before her birthday I found a party set, what a relief I tell you!  Lola was very excited!

For her birthday we had a BBQ with lots of our favorite people over and had a great time! 

For her birthday cake.. I made two cupcake –cakes topped with tinker bell candles on each!

After singing to the birthday girl she opened up her gifts and boy did she score: She received new clothes, shoes, a baby born, mariposa Barbie doll ,a tinker bell Barbie, and …

a BIKE!!! she LOVED IT!

Happy Birthday Lola we are so lucky to have been blessed to have you for our daughter! You sure have brought us a lot of joy in the last 3 years, and we look forward to many many more to come!

Thank you to our “family of friends” that came to her birthday.. she has celebrated all three of her birthdays here in Germany- next year we might be lucky to have some family there!

Happy Birthday Lola ♥

Here Lola is riding her bike for the very first time… and one of our favorite parts of this video is the “I STOPPED” && the “WAHOOOOO”!
