You Are My Sunshine Tea Party







 Yesterday my first baby girl turned 2! Still in shock that my sweetest, tiny baby girl is now a dancing/singing/talking up a storm little girl! We celebrated her big day on Saturday with a You Are My Sunshine tea party. It was a blast! It was by far one of my favorite parties I've done for my kiddos so far. My Little Miss is full of joy, and the joy is contagious so I thought the theme was fitting for her. She loves her tea parties as well so it was a perfect match.I invited two of her little friends and their mamas and her grandmas, aunties and her favorite church lady! A small party was perfect... Here are some snap shots of our day.
                                                    
A snap shot of the party room. I originally wanted to do the party out on our back patio but it was super windy the day of the party and I wanted everyone to be comfortable as well. It still turned out really cute!



Sunny flowers...


We did all desserts for our afternoon tea party... sunshine cupcakes and cupcakes topped with mini pinwheels... 

strawberries dipped in white chocolate and nerds


lemon tarts


The goody baskets. Inside was a pinwheel topped pencil, glitter crayons, an IZZE juice drink, bubbles and a butterfly of jelly beans...everything that reminded me of a sunny day and Little Miss' favorite things.


For an activity we painted these little cupcakes. Little Miss loves to paint!

the table..... 

the food table.. I made the poms out of tissue paper and the backdrop for the table is just what seemed like a million pinwheels I made hot glued to a big box lid!

She's Here

Our sweetest Gracelyn Kate arrived this week, 6 pounds, 4 ounces and 19 inches long, two weeks before her due date and one week before my scheduled c-section. Have to say that it was my best birthing experience and we are feeling so blessed by our new tiny miracle. God is good and has blessed us beyong measure. 
Here she is...
