Ariana's Birthday Interview and Party

Sunday, Ariana turned 3 years old. 

It was a really emotional week for me, having a 2 year old has been so much fun and it was bittersweet to see her becoming a big girl and celebrating her birthday without her Daddy here was hard on us.

My Aunt is here visiting and our friends Andrew and Viky came to visit us for the weekend. We kept the party small and low key and it was pretty perfect that way!

She was treated like a little princess all day and wore a pretty butterfly crown practically from breakfast until dinner!

She helped me decorate her blue Ariel cake that she requested. And she loved having Happy Birthday sung to her and blowing out her candles.

People from all over the world sent her cards and gifts in the mail and she loved every one of them. She got to Skype with Grammy, Aunt Sarah and Daddy!

Happy Birthday our little love girl!

The night before her birthday I interviewed her. Here's how it went down.
