birthday pics

So I turned 3 a few days ago.. and some wonderful people chipped in to get me a big stand mixer  :)  I was actually surprised.  We're still working on the cake, so we've postponed the inaugural cookie mixing until we finish all this delicious chocolate cake!  You can tell it's good by the way that elephant is sinking.. Corrie and Mary also painted some scenes for behind the 'birthday chair' (a Peterson tradition of sorts).
