Celebrate Life, Have A Party!!

Ok. If you know me then you know that I like social gatherings. I also LOVE to create them! It was my God given treasure's 3rd birthday so of course I had to do it big, right? Check out that treat table!! Then my best friend turned 21 for the..... better not say how many times she's been 21. Love you Jen! So I whipped up a little lunch, baked a cake, & set up the front porch and we had a time.:) The cute little tea party at the end of this post was put on by my darling friend Erica. Her daughter also turned 3 and Alice In Wonderland cupcakes were what the doctor ordered!!

Cute Cakes In A Cup

In case you didn't know cupcakes are my favorite. Always have been. I remember as a little girl getting excited when a class-mate would bring them in for birthday parties! So now that I'm all grown they are one of my favorite things to make, and now that I have my own little babes I have a bajillion reasons to make them!! Hehe. Here are a couple photos of some I made for others.

80's Style Cakes!

Potter Inspired Birthday Party

That would be Beatrix Potter that inspired my baby girl's 1st birthday party. I have to say that this was one cute little party and here are some pics from Isabelle's special day.
Love her smile, love her eyes, love the mess on her face, just love everything about this perfect baby girl!

Big brother Isaac is enjoying his baby sister's day too! Afterall who doesn't like a fun crowd and lots of cupcakes!!

Do you like my great yard sale finds!?! Yep, most of the decorations came straight from a yard sale or flea market.

My best friend Jen made the roses for the cake and cupcakes! Aren't they purty!?! The garden cupcakes and cheese curl carrots were on the kiddo table. That's the way to get your kids to eat their carrots.:)

So mama & Isabelle had matching dress and apron. I found the cutest fabric of all the characters from Beatrix Potter's books and worked my magic. As you can see, having this baby girl has been a lot of fun for me! She brings my creative side out. I love,love,love her!!! Her actual birthday is tomorrow.... Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!!
