Derek's parents began a tradition with their children that they would celebrate half birthdays. So, we went to Pappy and Nanny's house to celebrate Cherish's 3½ birthday.
Nanny makes ½ cakes:
Notice there are 3 candles at full size and 1 that is half-way into the cake. Thus, 3½.
Nanny says half birthdays are for giving gifts that you would normally give the child anyway—like summer/winter/Easter clothes, shoes in their new size, seasonal sports equipment like swimming items, sleds, etc.
Here she is so excited about getting a hula-hoop—though she thought she would be unable to learn, since she doesn't have "hippos" yet ☺.
Time out from opening presents to put on her new lip gloss.
After opening gifts and eating cake,
we all went to the pool to swim.
