I thought that was really neatThen there were the snacks, another kid favoritethat the mommies backed away fromMira was such a trooper wearing the snack like an accessoryEven LeeLou gave it a tryThis guy was awesome, it was an iguana. The kids couldn't pet him thoughHe lives in a tree and has long nails so we had to be wary of scratchesThere was a baby duckling that Holly just adoredHe even popped onto Mimi's head for a rideThe animals were completely entrancing the kidsThey simply loved it.I think I might have loved it as much too, I couldn't wait to see what was coming out nextThere was a Guinea pig and a white rat and tiny miceThen there was this really long, really big albino snakeAll the kids got to stand up and hold him togetherHe was really heavyAt the end Tracy fed several of the animalsSo in a way we got to see them all again brieflyas they were all getting put away and packed back upSome of them even did tricks, when they were eatingTracy would "loose" them and the kids of course pointed and shouted where they wereA few were super kid friendly and could be left out for pettingThe Guinea pig and the Rabbit were ooh so softHolly really liked petting themShe wanted to give them big hugs and rub her face on themIts a sensory thing I am sure, but I had to tell her to be gentleThen it was time for yummy cakeIt was Sponge bob!Here is the Birthday Girl patiently waiting with her yellow balloonAll of the kids were seated to waitThat in itself was like a magic trickThen it was time to sing!Here is Mira blowing out the candelsIt was so cute how Holly tried to blow with her tooThen a few of the kids were able to play with the figurinesAmazingly they stayed and sat and waiting, knowing we were cutting cakeHere they all are, Eli, Chloe, LeeLou,Brendan, KayleeThere were even birthday hatsIsn't she such a cutie!This picture is simply adorableOur birthday girl in her birthday hatJune and July is really birthday season, so many of our friends turn three around this timeIts amazing how much fun Holly has shoping for and picking out presents for her friendsWraping them and drawing on the wrapping paper, it is really cute.Finally it was time for the cake.Then it was play time.But first a group pictureAren't they all so cute wiggling around in there chairsWe had a fabulous time celebrating with miss MiraHappy Birthday!
