It was 3 years ago today that Kira made her grand entrance into the world. She has since proven to be a very determined girl. She can flip from being a living doll, to a tantrumming monster, and then back again, all within 5 minutes. She is alarmingly smart. Her latest phrase is "Thanks Mom, you're da best." which she now says whenever I do anything for her.As per Kira's orders, she spent the morning shopping at Toys'R'Us. I tried to talk her into many different toys. I was sure she would want a Little Tikes Kitchen, but she said, "Oh, no, that is too big for me!" She selected a small stuffed Dora doll, a carseat for her babydolls, and told me, "I think I already have enough toys, I don't need any more." I asked her if I could buy her a "Birthday Girl" t-shirt from the Gymboree across the road, and she said, "No thank you, I think I already have enough shirts, I don't need any more."
Grandpa Bob called to wish Kira a happy birthday and she sais, "Thank you, happy birthday to you too!"
After lunch, a parcel arrived from Aunt Gayle and Uncle Lynn. Kira loves her Furby and is telling them thank you in this photo. She was delighted with the coins taped to her card too and immediately said, "Oh, great, now I can buy my own treats at the hockey rink."We picked the boys up from school and Kira had a little nap. Then we dropped Patrick off at a teammate's house to be driven out of town for an away game. Then the other kids and I took Damon to his team practice. Once again, Kira spent a birthday at the hockey rink. 
Finally at 8:30 we got home and met up with Grandma Sue.
The kids unwound to Dora the Explorer's Fiesta music.
Kira loves soup and asks for soup many times a day. It was no surprise when she asked for Chicken soup for dinner, so we made a Chicken Stew in the crockpot. I made some dumplings (which didn't turn out so great in a crockpot). For dessert we had a much requested "Strawberry Cake", which was a cake and icing made with strawberry puree. It was full of strawberry sweetness, and I'm having a hard time keeping Damon out of the extra frosting.
It didn't turn out as great as I would have liked, but Kira was pleased with it and loved blowing out her candles.

Oh Adri, I cannot believe she is three no, I thought she was two, bless her she looks so cute and happy. I have just caught up on all your christmas pics. Hanna looks like she is thriving. I love the girls matching outfits they are too gorgeous. Hugs and well done Kathy once again on another beautiful quilt.
Happy belated birthday to Kira. She's grown so!
Good storyline accompanying the photos.Looks and sounds like it was an exciting time. Happy Birthday dear Kira Jane!
Oh how cute! Fab idea for a cake!! Has she had a birthday NOT at the rink?? When will she start playing? (ducking - owww!)
Happy Birthday to Kira!!!! I REALLY can't believe how big girl she looks now. I remember my girls then..ugh..bittersweet. It's hard to see them grow up so fast. We struggle so much in the interim, that we look back and wish we'd grabbed more of them.
The look on her face when she sees the cake..that just says it all. What sweetness.
She's looking so much like Damon lately..and I see some Campbell too!!
