Sneak Peek

Here's a sneak peek at the little party favors for Sara's upcoming birthday party.  So easy and cheap!!  It just takes a little patience.  However, I'm not sure I'll be making 9 tutus in less than a week EVER again.  Although, the hair clips were pretty fun.  I might try those again!

Happy Birthday

Sara had a little party for her 3rd birthday. She and her friends, danced, sang, ate, played, danced some more and had a jolly good time. Thanks Eliza, Celeste, Sophie & Perry for sharing in the fun!

The princess is 3!!

Happy Birthday

The great thing about being married to an engineer is that instead of setting my birthday cake ablaze with candles he wrote my age in binary. What a great idea!

Daniel celebrated his birthday with a little back yard fun. For his party we had a few relay races, a shaving cream adventure, launched alka seltzer rockets, cake & ice cream, and the company of good friends.

Happy Birthday Bryan!

The kids helped make his cake. Simply yummy.

Bryan is an amazing father and a loving companion.

LOVE YOU!

Sara spent most of the day in her favorite pink princess dress, pink crown, click-clack shoes, and toting her pink blanket. Was she a sight to behold! Bryan came home early from work so we could sing "Happy Birthday" and enjoy Sara's cupcake tree before heading out to the church social.

Happy Birthday Princess!!!

WE LOVE YOU!!

Disclaimer: Don't look to close at the cupcake tree or you'll see the disfigured cupcakes she sampled before I was done frosting!

Check out our pretty princess!!

She did a fantastic job of blowing out her candles

without any help!

Hmmm.....Yummy!

The minute she opened her new toothbrush she wouldn't let it go!!

Happy Birthday

I have to admit, now that I've had children I love birthdays so much more.

I love seeing their little faces light up with excitement as they carefully prepare their surprises. They did a wonderful job of making me feel special!!

Just take a look...

(Not pictured is the very yummy dinner they treated me to on Friday & the wonderful meal Bryan prepared today!!)

Thanks for the "over the hedge" pajamas & beautiful butterfly necklace!!

The original artwork on the wrapping paper was a nice touch!!

A little baker hard at work.

Daniel & Mom enjoy a much needed rest.
