Casey's Birthday

Normally we wouldn't celebrate our dog's birthday, but things change when you have an excited three year old. Somehow she found out that Casey's birthday was after Father's Day and it stuck with her. And we really wouldn't have made a cake if Alyssa's half birthday didn't fall two days later. So we had a birthday celebration this week for Casey's birthday and Alyssa's half birthday (in case anyone is wondering why we would care about Alyssa's half birthday, I just want to remind you that she was born on Christmas and eventually, we will probably switch to always celebrating her birthday around the end of June). So here is the cake that Alyssa helped me make.
And here is the birthday dog. He just turned three, by the way.
I don't get in the pictures very often, but here is one with me and the birthday "kids."
And we even let Casey enjoy a piece of his cake, if you can call swallowing it whole, enjoying it.
Alyssa even got to open some presents thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Miner. Unfortunately, we couldn't convince her to wait until our party to open the gifts, so we don't have pictures, but she loved the presents. Thanks again, Grandma and Grandpa.

Okay, guys, if you want my opinion, you need to at least celebrate her birthday in her birthday month. A few days before or a few days after would be great! She really needs to enjoy the season of her birthday because it is pretty special.
