Guess who had a birthday in April ?!? How is this girl 3 Years Old already! We are so grateful for the amazing blessing of adoption and the incredibly difficult decision her sweet birth mom made to place Maya into our family! Maya, we love you so much! Maya is a fun, sassy, happy, smart, grateful, helpful, strong, independent, outgoing, and thoughtful little girl! How lucky we are to be her parents!
We had a little birthday party for May with family a couple of days early, because Brandon and I made plans for a last minute surprise!
|
She sure loved the decorations and loved being the star of the day! |
|
Maya was pretty specific about her cake, she wanted a Bubble Guppy Cake!
The difficult part of that was finding a bakery that made that specific cake, I couldn't
find one anywhere nearby! So, I ordered some fun Bubble Guppy candles online and a
local bakery made a fun beachy/underwater cake, we added the candles, and it
looked great! Maya was so excited about it! |

Opening Presents! |
|
Look who got a strider-bike! She loved it and picked up on the idea of how to
ride it pretty quickly -- what a girl! |
And on for the big surprise ... Brandon and I decided a few days before her birthday to take a last minute trip to, of course, Disneyland! No better place to celebrate the BIG THREE than at the Happiest Place on Earth, right?
|
One Happy Faimly! |
|
We always decorate the house for birthdays, and being away is certainly
no exception! We brought decorations to keep our fun family tradition
alive at the hotel! She loved waking up to decorations and presents! |
|
Birthday Breakfast at Goofy's Kitchen! |
|
Swimming at the hotel pool! |
|
We didn't get to see the Sound-sational parade back in February so we made
sure to get a spot to enjoy it this time! |

Ready to ride Winnie the Pooh! |

Happy Birthday big 3 year old! |
