Happy 3rd Birthday, Brianna!

One bit of advice you get from 'seasoned' mothers is "don't blink, time flies by".  Addison has one more month left of kindergarten, Claire is NINE months old (time to plan her 1st birthday!), and Brianna just turned 3. When did that happen? 
Some how I managed to turn into one of those Extreme Party Planning mom's and went all out for Brianna's Strawberry Shortcake Party. I blame Pinterest. I'm still recovering from all the paper crafting and sweet treat making!!
This is the dress I made Claire. I know, out of control.

Not to toot my own horn but these were good. I even bought a pastry bag and tip and piped my own homemade frosting.

Ahhhh, it's worth it to see my baby happy!

Gotta have a sign to know where you are, right?

And a pennant banner just in case you missed the sign

Even juice boxes and water bottles need to feel cute sometimes...

and so do the forks and knives.

The dessert table, yummy!!

I was just looking for things to melt chocolate on. Rice Krispie Treats...

and pretzels. This chocolate was molded into flowers, naturally.

I oozed my craziness onto my mom and she painted the Kiddie Corn Hole game for me.

But look at the smiles....

It was worth every second.

I know I have lots left learn about being a mommy but I now feel 'seasoned' enough to say to new mommy's "don't blink, time flies by".
