Eliana's 3rd birthday

Eliana turned 3 last week. When she woke up on her birthday morning, she peeked around the corner and said "I want to see my birthday." We got her some little chairs to enjoy her books on.

Lilah is taking fill advantage of her sister's birthday present.

In the absence of cream cheese in this country, I couldn't make my traditional pumpkin cheesecake for Eliana. So, after Nate bought 8kg(!) of carrots off the street for a bargain the other day, I resorted to Nate's favorite cake - carrot cake. I even decided to venture out and cut the shape of a three for Eliana. She loved it.

When we asked Eliana what her favourite part of the day was she said, "Eating my delicious, delicious cake." She knows the way to her mama's heart :)


This is the first year Eliana has anticipated her birthday. She was excited all week leading up to it. It's also the first time she has really understood opening presents from friends. It was sweet to watch.

Her favourite present? A lollypop:)
