So here’s a cool thing: Kourtni and Arlene put their heads together and engineered this collapsible cardboard boat from the Disney movie Moana (Essie’s favorite movie this summer). Ess LOVED it and started pretending in it right away.

Essie’s third birthday cake. Hand-baked from scratch by Mykala (blueberry dye to get the frosting Essie’s favorite color: purple).

‌

Best part of this video is the end: Ess singing happy birthday using only the word ‘flutter’.

Mykala outdid herself with Essie’s birthday cake this year.

‌

Mykala put together a ladybug picnic-themed birthday for Essie’s third. These treats were delicious AND cute.
