Parker's Birthday

It hard to believe that three years have gone by!! On one hand, it has flown by and on the other, it seems like she has been with us forever! She had a great day at school but we are waiting to do a Pizza and Cupcake Party on lunch box day this Friday. Of course, she had to wear green b/c it was St. Patrick's Day too. Parker and Daddy getting ready to leave for dinner at Benihana's. We thought she might like the dicing and chopping. The girls hanging out before heading to dinner. Me at 29 weeks pregnant- ick! At least as the photographer, Matt was a little discreet about my huge belly. The photo guy at Benihana's got me broadsided. We are going to try to see if we can scan it to post, but we are not sure if it will work. Parker had a great time at dinner. She got to have strawberry lemonade in a special cup and we ordered edamame and a sushi roll that she tried. She ate a bite of the Wyndham shrimp roll but she really liked the edamame. She kept popping the beans all over the place though. After some practice, she finally got the hang of eating them out of the shell. Her favorite part of the evening was when the Benihana guy brought out a cake and sang Happy Birthday to her. Everyone in the restaurant clapped. They had a trick candle on the cake and she teared up a bit after blowing it out like 3 times. I think that she was embarassed that it kept lighting back up. She said It won't turn off! It keeps turning back on! She ate a pretty decent dinner, but EVERY morsel of her cake.

When we got home we opened a couple of presents. We are saving most of her presents for her family birthday party this weekend in Marianna. Parker loves to play doctor and loves to dress up so she got a pet doctor costume. Her favorite part to play is giving shots. She'll say it not hurt, it not hurt. Here, you can pick out a sticker. :)
