I have yet to figure out when our little lady grew so much. But denial aside, three has arrived ("Mommy, I'm not two I'm THREEEE!") and after our Nutcracker-inspired Halloween costume, we (I) decided to continue the theme for her birthday party.
My dear friend and photographer Crystal was in attendance so I am BLESSED with some beautiful pictures of the event to share with you:

SO. MUCH. SUGAR.
Ana Claire had two pieces of cake, a cupcake, and a marshmallow pop. And I said not a word because it's impossible to indulge too much on your big day.
The party menu included ham and cheese sliders, broccoli casserole, a potato chip bar, honeydew melon, strawberry cupcakes, pink lemonade, and peppermint fudge favors to take home. These homemade birthdays are a lot of work, people. I always regret it when I'm in the thick of favor-making/cake-baking/lantern-hanging, but then when I look back on darling photos like these my heart surges with pride that my little girl had a pretty, sweet birthday party at her house.

ReplyDeleteNutcracker-inspired Halloween birthday party! That seems so interesting. These photographs are just stunning. These colors you chose for this party decoration are just perfect. Loved everything about it! I am also going to celebrate my daughter’s birthday at some local venues San Francisco and would like to use this theme for her party.
