Happy 3rd Birthday, Arianna!

Saturday, January 31st was Arianna's 3rd birthday. We started off the morning by taking her to ballet class. Halfway through her class the teacher called me in because Arianna was in tears. No matter what I did to try to calm her down, she just was not having it. In a quandary, we took her home to get her ready for her small birthday gathering which would begin around 3pm. By around 2pm, Arianna could not keep her eyes open and just passed out asleep on the couch. This girl NEVER sleeps during the daytime, so we knew something was up. We felt her head and sure enough she was hot to the touch. Unfortunately it was too late to cancel the party so Arianna just slept on the couch as people arrived. We woke her up to try to get her to unwrap presents and have cake but she had no interest at all. When a child is not interested in presents, you know there is cause for concern! I just felt so bad that my little princess could not enjoy her special day :(

Here are some pictures from the party:

The Cakes!

Arianna did not have much interest in her new bike.

She slept for most of the party :(
