Miss Vivian arrived today, and she brought her mom and dad with her! Because she is nearly three, Kathy spent some time buying a few new things for her to play with while she is here. So Kathy bought her a Barbie doll, and some beach accessories like a chaise lounge and umbrella. Then Kathy decided to make a palm tree out of cardboard and green felt, and used some cardboard to make a sandy beach with a blue ocean!
Tomorrow is Vivian's birthday, and so Kathy bought her a present of a doll house. So Vivian unwrapped it and both of them got to play with it together today.
And here is Vivian and her birthday cake, a day early! Amy said this is really the first time she gets the idea of what a birthday and a birthday party is. We will have presents tomorrow - Amy spent part of tonight wrapping gifts for her. But you can see that she is really fascinated with this delicious birthday cake that Kathy made - a yellow cake with strawberry filling and a strawberry frosting. That was delicious! It sure is nice to have everyone here to visit with us for a while!
Happy Birthday Miss Vivian. She is adorable! She looks so mesmerized by the barbie and the dollhouse. I love the look on her face as she is eyeing the birthday cake! Liz and Aunt Kate look a lot alike-I thought at first that the second photo was one of Vivian and Liz on the floor playing and had to look closer to realize it was Aunt Kate. Glad they are out visiting. Trace

Happy birthday, Miss Vivian! Can’t believe she is already 3 years old. Kathy is so creative making a beach scene with a handmade palm tree for her new Barbie doll. Fun things to play with! Love the look on Vivian’s face as she’s eyeing that delicious looking cake. Sounds scrumptious! So exciting for you both to have Amy, Gus & Vivian visiting. Give big hugs to all. Betsey
