The Cutest Berry in the Bunch

Nina was a little strawberry this year. She actually loved wearing the stem hat, which I was worried about, and laughed at herself in the mirror when she saw it.

I don't even know what to say. Isn't she darling?
The Lundy's sent Nina these cute pants for her birthday.

Hart Park

There's a cute park in town called Hart Park that we checked out a few weeks ago. It's a huge park that has a lot to see and do. Nina seemed to like feeding the ducks and geese the best. The geese made me a little nervous, since they were very "friendly" and bigger than Nina.
Tyson was helping Nina get a closer look.
Nina and me at the water's edge.
Here's Nina gazing at the ducks. There were peacocks, play areas, and a river at the park and it turned out to be a great Sunday evening.

The Festivities

Aah, the big girl car seat. I don't know why I was so excited to have her switch cart seats. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that she no longer screams the whole time we are in the car. From the look on her face, she's pretty content with this seat as well.
Here's Nina on her actual birthday enjoying one of her favorite lunches: chicken nuggets from Wendy's. It's one of my favorites too!
Tyson made Nina a Funfetti cake for her actual birthday. We couldn't find any candles around the house so there is a match stuck in. She didn't seem to mind.

Feeding cake to dad..mmm.
When Tyson's parents came out for Nina's birthday party we ate at one of our favorite Mexican restaurants, Que Pasa. Nina really loved the black beans.

Nina's birthday party was a low-key affair, but was a lot of fun. We had a lunch with both grandparents and Uncle Tom. Nina opened presents and ate her cake. The rest of the adults had a great time watching football the rest of the day.
You can tell by her eyes how tired she was but being the crazy people we are we forced her to "enjoy" her cake. She picked at it for a bit, then lost it and had to go down for a nap. Maybe she was a bit overstimulated.

Pumpkin cupcakes for everyone else.
Nina got the plane from me and Tyson and Snugglepup from Grandma and Grandpa Wood. She puts them both to good use by pushing Snugglepup around the house. Very cute!
