Turning Three

You might remember my post about being nervous to pull off a whirlwind of a spring schedule...multiple birthdays, trips, a reunion, a graduation, family in town, etc.  Well, yesterday marked the end of all the festivities.  It was fun but exhausting and now, nothing seems more perfect to me than a blank calender page.

Amongst the celebrations was Stella's third birthday.  We wound up having two parties with different sides of the family.  First, we had a Hello Kitty inspired celebration...

And then we had this little party...

I made the bunting to jazz up the peppermint creme cake.

We served lemonade in small mason jars...

I ordered the jar lids from here.  Yellow + white straws fit

perfectly into the daisy pattern cut out...

Donut Seeds (aka Cheerios)...

Testing out a present...

Personalized balls for the little ones to play with...

We made giant pinwheels to flank the entry...

The party is over...
