the tea party.

For Amelia's 6th birthday, she decided to have a couple friends over for a tea party. The decorations were beautiful, (thanks mom!) and everything was very yummy. All the girls looked so cute in their dresses! Here are some from the afternoon!

The birthday girl specifically asked for cupcakes with pink icing, sprinkles, and cherries on top! My girl has good taste, they turned out so cute!!

We almost had to move the party inside due to gloomy weather. As soon as the guests arrived, the sun came out, full force! It was pretty bright, and HOT , but the girls did pretty well.

What tea party is complete without cucumber sandwiches and teapot shaped pb&j's?!

pretty tea cookies that "muv" made!

Each girl had some glitter glue, sequins, beads and stickers to decorate a teacup magnet...

They turned out great!!

I think this was probably her favorite gift!

Or maybe this one....

Amelia, I hope you enjoyed your special day!! I love you so much!

happy birthday, amelia!!!!!!

Woah. I can't believe my [first] baby is 6 years old today!!! Happy Birthday sweet girl! I can't wait for your tea party later this week!!!

the many faces of amelia.

oh Amelia. She has days where she wants me to take her picture all day long, and days where she wants to be left alone (or, be the one TAKING the pictures!). The other day, we were up at the pool, and she kept asking me to "please, please go get your camera and let me make different faces." So I did, and here are a couple of my favorites.
