Bryce's birthday party was held at the Lake Superior Zoo, in Duluth. We got there a little late, just as he was opening his presents. So Maisie stood and watched with my mom and with my uncle Bob, Bryce's grandpa.
After presents, there was cake, of course.
After all, what's a third birthday party without cake?
You might not be able to tell, but that's Dylan sitting next to Maisie! Among other things we missed by arriving late, we missed out on face painting. Dylan was a cheetah. (Clearly, right?)
After the party and a walk around the zoo on a beautiful day, we went to hang out with the family back at Saara and Brent's place just outside Cloquet. They have a beautiful house out in the country, where they have (among other things) chickens!
Maisie got to get her first truly farm-fresh egg. It lasted about 10 minutes in her possession, but that's okay, there were plenty more where that one came from!
After checking out the chickens and breaking her egg, it was time to play outside. She declined a snowmobile ride, but had fun building a snowman and decorating it with colored water, shoveling, and especially throwing snowballs.
Dylan, Bryce and Maisie all threw snowballs at my cousin Dave, in town from California with his wife Ali, who threw the snowballs back at them. I joined them outside to find Maisie yelling "I get you, Dave!!" and giggling like crazy. It was hilarious!
And in Maisie's case, Dave would usually just hand the snowballs back to her.

Those have got to be the prettiest blue eyes I've seen in a long time. She is so stinking cute, I wanna big ol' hug just to get my arms around such cuteness.
