I haven't written for a long time and I haven't even recorded Joie's 3rd birthday activities here.  Joie had 3 parties. She talked about her birthday for weeks before it came. What she wanted, the type of cake, candles, friends, family, everything.  To spend time with most of her friends she had 3 parties.  The first was the Friday prior. She had a Polynesion party with her friends the Kanaheles and Tupous.  Our new missionaries were there too and we all ate chocolate iced homemade cupcakes. Joie ate the frosting off 3 of them and left the cupcakes. Zach said the cake wasn't very good but no one else complained, they said they liked it honestly, hmmm....  It was her Birthday so she was allowed, Itaeehou even ate one of her licked off cupcakes for her.  It was a good night and we all had fun. Kalani sang with his ukelele and the boys played with her all night. It was her boy party. The girl party was the next day Saturday.  Susannah Kennedy and her daughter Sariah came over and we played outside, went for a walk and opened presents to play indoors for a while.  Joie loved her girl party and we had the cake she requested, strawberry cake with strawberry icing and strawberries on top!  A beautiful day and another great party. They are all good friends.  The last party was her family party and we talked to family and went on webcam.  We don't have any pictures because we videotaped it instead.  The cake was two pieces of strawberry cake leftover.  She wanted it that way so we saved it.  She loved all her presents and shared with Fox which was so nice.  A wonderful Birthday weekend!
