Tea Party Time

So I invited all of my work buddies over to help us celebrate Charlotte's 3rd birthday. It would be the first of several mini parties. I was feeling like a little over the top girlyness so who better to help us with that that a bunch of fashion designers? Of course, they surprised us when they all showed up in "traditional" english tea party garb complete with hats and heels. It was so amazing, I love those girls!
Dave was such a good sport with my ewwy gooey girly ideas. From dowsing the house in pink to even wearing his own "prince daddy" crown. (how did i not get a pic of that!??) Anyways, fun was had by all, from eating cupcakes to making our own princess wands. But none more than our little Three year old.

To Our Sweet Girl on Her Birthday

Words cant describe the happiness that you have brought to my life. You make getting up in the morning, not only a joy, but an excitement. To watch you grow over these years is truly a miracle in itself (4 inches from a year ago!) and watching you become the beautiful little person that you are is so heart warming and gratifying. From the way you give your little butterfly kisses to the way you like to just hold my head in your arms when you are half asleep. I enjoy every part of your life.
Three years ago today I thought that you were such an amazing little life but today I know what an impact you have made in so many lives just being the little spirit of joy that you cant help but be. I love you my little Char, sweet cheeks, my sweet Charlotte.

More pics to come of the celebratory events :)
