Ruby Dooby Turns 3

Party Prep:

Stuffing envelopes can sure be a frustrating job.

 The invite.

Dropping the invitations off at the post office.  Both girls are fascinated by the post office and how they can deliver letters and packages to friends and family's homes.

It was hard to tell who was most excited for the opening of gifts.  Hudson had selected some fish and a fish bowl.  And Dalanie painstakingly chose a lady bug pillow pet for Ruby.  Like they say, 'tis better to give than to receive.

 The fish in their new home on my kitchen countertops.

 Traditional birthday sprinkles and frosting breakfast.

Ojo appeared on Ruby's birthday.  He had blown up a balloon that read "happy birthday Ruby."  He apparently tumbled from his perch and Ruby brought him to me.  It must have been birthday amnesty because he didn't lose his magic.

Some of Ruby's favorite things at the party were grandparents, cousins, spaghetti dinner, lots of red (guests invited to wear red,) and neapolitan ice cream.

We had raspberry bread pudding for the "cake."  Three candles are a big job to get blown out.

This Ruby Dooby is one character.  She is always using her imagination and carrying on conversations with herself or her toys.  Out of the blue she will tell you "I lub you!"  She is very polite and loves to say please and thank you.  She loves to wear jewelry and try on my shoes.  She has friends wherever she goes, kids her age must like to say her name.  She makes us laugh and is such an important part of our family.
