I still only see 1 when I look at it, I'm getting old and blind, I guess! One would be perfectly fine, I am just thinking of my own son and his current obsession with three. He asked for three balloons on the mailbox, 3 on the table and 3 on the deck. Elise had a wonderful celebration and I did not mean to indicate otherwise.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00353601933196259651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-26140918217659917682009-06-10T20:29:52.396-05:002009-06-10T20:29:52.396-05:00Don't worry, I'm not so stingy that I woul...Don't worry, I'm not so stingy that I wouldn't give a 3 year old three pink candles.
