On the 4th of June Middle Child - aka Lu, LuLu, Livvie, Livvie Lu, Liv, Munch, Kewpie Doll, O-Livia, Olivia - celebrated her 3rd Birthday.
It was a family affair conducted at our house with an aquatic theme.
Take careful note of this next pic: Mrs and I spent HOURS trying and retrying a Jell-O recepie for a fishbowl of Jell-O that was SUPPOSED TO look like the real thing, gummy fish and all.
They lied. We wasted X number of Jell-O boxes on two failed attempts, and finally compromised with this lame dessert:
Next to our wedding cake, this was the most expensive cake I've ever bought, ~$47.
Outside, while I barbequed chicken, the kids played on the swing, a Slip and Slide, a wading pool, and an inflatable trampoline.
Inside, because of the heat most of the adults stayed in the vicinity of the kitchen table. We all joined in to sing Happy Birthday.
My girl opened her gifts outside . . .
This is but a smattering of what she got:
Happy Birthday LuLu!
