Mademoiselle Maya is 3

Mademoiselle Maya had a Pink Poodle in Paris themed 3rd birthday party. She has a thing for pink poodles ever since she latched on to a little pink poodle stuffed animal she got on her 2nd birthday. If you read the blog regularly, you know she was "Fifi" the pink poodle for Halloween. So, ever since I knew that I could buy some pink poodle party supplies, I knew that would be the theme for her 3rd birthday. I was happy to come across this cute pink poodle wrapping paper a few months ago. Gymboree carried a line of "Tres Chic" a few months ago. I got pony tail holders that had little plastic poodles on them. I gave them to Nesha who created the most adorable bows ever. Nesha made them to go with the cute outfit I bought for Maya to wear to her party.
We had a little hair issue when I was getting Maya ready for her party. When she was upstairs without me, she got her step stool out and climbed up and got some children's Vick's Vapor Rub. She got it all over her face and hair. I didn't have time to wash her hair again, so I had to get it out the best I could and fix her hair. It smelled SO strong...

We had Maya's party at the Texas Teddy Bear Factory -- which is just like Build a Bear. Gigi made the fabulous pink poodle cake to match the party ware. The ladies at Texas Teddy Bear Factory were very impressed!

When I booked the party, they had pink poodles in the store as a choice of animal to make... they didn't have any the day of the party, but that was okay. She has plenty of pink poodles!

Maya chose to make a cat. We found a "beautiful pink princess dress" for her cat to wear. Maya named her "Julie."

Carmen shows off her Husky.

Gabe and Mason had to leave the party early just after making their new friends. They both had soccer games.

Gabe made a Firefighter bear and Mason made a Basketball player bear. Carmen, Gabe and Paloma's Mommy was busy in labor about to have a new little sister for them!

Cake time and my little sweetheart was ready to blow out her candles.

The "Bearologist" handed out a certificate for each new friend made. Zoe made a black dog with a pink outfit. Reese made a Soccer player bear.
Kirsten made a pink bear with a denim skirt.

We tried to take a group picture with the big bear. This was pretty hilarious trying to do with five 2-3 year old girls and Carmen and Lauren.
As you can see, many shots taken and none of them great.
Paloma was acting tired laying with her new bear with Pajamas on. Maya was trying to show off her new pink poodle back pack. Zoe didn't want to be in the picture at all. We bribed Reese to get in the picture by getting to sit with Lauren. Kirsten was half way cooperating...just not exactly in a good spot!
Lauren made a hippo with a Texas Tech t-shirt!

Maya seemed pretty sleepy in the car on the way home. She had a great time and we filled up the Tahoe with all her new things!



This is one happy and precious girl. Once we got home and she went potty, she didn't want her pants back on -- so all of the pictures from here on out are sans pants!

She stayed very busy with all her new things. Grandmother and Pops stayed around a little bit to play and help get all of the loot in. I cannot believe my baby girl is 3. Where did the time go? More soon on her new bigger big girl bed!
