A Ballerina Tea Party

We had such a special time celebrating Natalie's 4th birthday yesterday afternoon.  Natalie is so blessed by all the special ladies in her life and it was fun to celebrate with a few of them.  

This was our tea room, with special thanks to my mom for the room, the beautiful flowers and the tea cups and dishes.  

Cupcakes!

  I saw a picture of these little cake toppers online and thought they would be the perfect addition.  They were simple to make too!

 My little mousling ballerina!

The fun craft project we did

I was so happy with how it turned out!

 Natalie just loves these two sweet girls. It's so fun to watch them grow up together

Some fun with the ribbon wands

Waiting...

Feeling tired and emotional this evening... waiting for babies is hard work and I'm still two weeks from my due date :)  Brielle ruined me by coming five weeks early!  I've been trying to keep the house in order this week and stay caught up on cleaning/laundry etc.  Meanwhile the flower beds and garden are full of weeds - there is always something, isn't there?

We are having a ballerina tea party on Sunday for Natalie's birthday. I can't believe she's turning 4! I've had so much fun planning the party - I think she will love it.  I'll be sure to post some pics later. Since her birthday is one day before my due date, we thought we would get the party in early.  So I guess I'll just be thankful this baby boy is still happy and healthy in my belly.  After all, that's what all those shots and doctors appointments were for.

Here are my two giggly girls that are keeping me busy as I wait for their brother.  So thankful for them and for their daddy that's entertaining them this evening as I take a little breather.

Confidence

This chick was my date tonight

After dinner I told her to go upstairs and get ready.  I was just curious to see what she would do.  She, of course, changed her clothes.  She came down and announced to Hans and me, "I look pretty awesome!" With that confidence the girl was ready to go in my opinion. 

 Now I just wish I could say she gets that confidence because that's how I always talk to myself in the mirror - always something to be reminded of.  These days I'm feeling (and looking) quite pregnant, but that doesn't change my pretty awesomeness, right :)
