fun birthday parties

Abby turned 3!

(on sep 8, but whatever!)

she had a cute pirate party.

they played red light, green light, but i'm not sure that any of them really knew what was going on. :)

we just happened to have a pirate dress, and since addie didn't want to wear it, i made frankie. 

she loved walking the plank!

all the kids did! it was really cute.

they love eachother!

and frankie loves sarah.

(playing peek-a-boo)

for days we talked about gold doubloons, treasures, and pirate talk.
so fun!

izzy finally turned 3 too! she had a whimsical princess party that was so cute. we got there early to help and gabby, izzy's babysitter, put make-up on both the girls. they were soooo excited!

love the way addie is holding her hand! she's just trying to keep her ring on, but it totally looks princess-esque!

franks doesn't always love hanging out with the 3-year-old crowd.
she often gets manhandled by addie and her well meaning friends.
(okay sometimes they ((including addie!)) are not so well meaning!)

some real princesses showed up to the party and taught the girls how to sit and wave like princesses.

 and then pictures of course!

they practiced walking with poise.

and then some light hors d'oeuvres.

we love birthdays! so cute and fun!
