I am so excited to see the pictures from her party! 3 years old is such a magical age. You are so talented and creative! I love her outfit! I’m so glad you had fun today! ๐
I know I have not read this post yet… since it is not there, but I just wanted to say that Lainey is a gorgeous birthday girl! I also wanted to give you a tip I kept forgetting to send about the no-sew tutu. If you make it exactly the way you did but onto a thick ribbon with a knot about 10 inches from each end (leaving between them the length you would need to tie around the little’s waist) then you just tie the ribbon into a big bow to secure it around their waist. Then it is really no tie and in my opinion better for attaching to baby waists. Thought you might like the tip if you are making one for Nella. (Pulling on a tulle skirt for a baby is more difficult than just tying it around them). I love your blog and can’t wait to read about Lainey’s birthday party! Erin
Happy Birthday Lainey! Can your mom come up to Dallas and help me plan my daughter’s 7th birthday party this fall? I am betting she is a REALLY GOOD PARTY PLANNER! Hoping today is as fabulous as you are!
Happy Birthday to Lainy! 3 is a wonderful, fun age. Birthdays are just as much a milestone for the mama and daddy as they are for the little growing sweetheart, aren’t they? So many memories and so much to reflect on and anticipate for the coming year. Congratulations to all of you!
I can’t wait!! I have been waiting anxiously for today to arrive- partly because I had a huge business show for my photography today, but also because I knew it was Lainey’s party and I am excited to hear all about it and see the hundreds of beautiful pictures I am sure you took!
DYING here!! Can’t WAIT for the “rest of the story.” Have never commented before, but thank you for sharing yourself with us … you remind me daily to appreciate and enjoy every little moment. I need that. :^)
3 was my absolute favorite age with my older daughter! So lucky to get to do it again in a couple years with my now 9 month old little girl. Lainey is a beauty as usual. Can’t wait to see/read the rest!
For a woman who was in the panic home stretch of getting ready for the fairy party, I am incredibly impressed that you had any energy remaining to leave even a teaser. Thank you!! I am sure that all of you had a wonderful time, and congratulations for pulling off a fairy party with a 4 month old too.
Now it’s my week for the crunch before next Saturday’s party. And this is only for a 2 year old. Goodness!
Happy birthday, Lainey! I can’t wait to read all about your party and see all the pics. You make a very pretty fairy indeed. p.s Tell your Mama I said hi!
Happy birthday, Lainey! I can’t wait to read all about your party and see all the pics. You make a very pretty fairy indeed. p.s Tell your Mama I said hi!
Can’t wait to see more of your celebration sweetness, your Mom sure rocks when it comes to parties for lil girl’s!…And I bet your lil sister looked very cute in her tutu too?…
OMG!! I can’t wait to know how was the party!!! and to see pictures of course! I was thinking about you yesterday, about your little princess’s celebration. She looks so happy!! I have my little niece’s birthday party today, she is turning 3 also!!!
She is so beautiful! I’ve been waiting to see her in her fairy outfit! I’ve recently started following your blog! I love your girls and you! My husband will even ask,”So what happened on your fav blog today?” I can’t wait to see more!
There was a little girl in our row at church today who was the SPITTING IMAGE of your little Lainey. I thought of you and her through the entire service…even though I’ve never met you and live in a different country. :oS
lol @ the Anon up there calling Kelle a tease… I’m glad I’m not the only one, in fact 100 other’s are also on the edge of our seats waiting to see Princess Lainey Love, and Nella Bunny too of course on the BIG 3 DAY !*winks* …We understand kelle, got to compile all them pics, and write the story, tell us all the lil details even, and of course take care of your many visitors I am sure that came to celebrate with you all on Lainey’s Day …We understand, of course we do, we know your life is full of magnificent small things to enjoy …*winks as i wonder if you gave a tutu bathing suit for a blog prize, just how many sweet Birthday wishes Lainey would get …lol …*…Loving you all so much, we just want to be a part of it all Kelle …*warm hugs Mom* You are a Supper Mom Star in my books…but hurry and post the pics ok ?…*giggles* Deborah, The Canadian Nurse
Wow! Did Lainey suddenly jump instantly into looking like a big 3 year old? She looks increadibly ‘grown-up’ with her wispy hair tucked behind her princess hat.
Ah! Her little sprightly grin is to die for. Been thinking about her and you all weekend! Margot would like a skype date with Lainey to make the birthday wishes heard. Tomorrow?
I was so excited when I saw her picture and then it was just a tease. I can’t wait to hear all the fun she had on her birthday! Happy Birthday Lainey!!!
So I swear I posted a comment already but apparently not?
Happy birthday Lainey Bug!!! I hope she had a very magical day! Also, she is very grown up! She’s starting to look more like a little “girl” and not so much as a baby!!
I definitely can’t wait to see more and read all about her magical day!!!! ๐
Happy Birthday Laynie , even one day late I do have to say that your party was beautiful , full of magic as magic is your life with your lovely parents and friends . God bless you all
I can’t tell from the pictures- who was more excited about her party- you or her! It looked just as divine as I thought it would be! LOVE LOVE LOVE the enchanted forest you apparently have in your backyard!
I want to share with you a short conversation with my daughter just after she walked in and caught a glimpse of the fairy houses being painted while I was viewing this blog……
Jess: What’s that-what are they doing?
ME: this little girl Lainey had a fairy birthday party and they painted houses for the fairies.
Jess:I want to do that at my party.
ME: but you told me you wanted a Hello Kitty party NOT a fairy party?!?
Jess: I WANT TO HAVE A HELLO KITTY GARDEN FLOWER PARTY.
Me: so why do we need to paint fairy houses if it’s not a fairy party?
Jess: FOR THE BIRDIES IN THE GARDEN!!
NOTE TO SELF- DO NOT LET MY DAUGHTER SEE THIS BLOG EVER!!!!
