Lucy is officially FOUR!
To bring in her 4th with a bang, we had a
BAKING PARTY
with her group of preschool friends.
(100% inspired by One Charming Party)
There were going to be a couple more invitees, but a few days before the party Jack sheepishly mentioned that he wanted to be more than just the "big helper" at the party. He wanted to wear the frilly apron and bakers hat too. It was so cute to hear him ask. Of course he wanted in on all the fun, even at the price of wearing a ruffly apron.
At the start of the party, the girls (and Jack) played with playdough at the table. Then a few at a time would go and make the giant flower for their hat, using coffee filters and cupcake wrappers. I loved the color combinations they all chose. Each one was totally unique.
Then the kids made fruit skewers. I had soooooo much fruit and the girls gobbled up every last piece!
My mom read them a story while Lisa and I set up the cakes for decorating. Each child got their own triple layer cake to embellish with piped frosting and M&M's. I saw a lot of finger-licking going on! I think that's a good sign.
It was quite literally a SWEET party for a SWEET little girl
(who happens to look sooooo old in all these pictures!)

**note** my camera's ISO was set to shady for part of the party, so some of the photos were way too warm (yellow). I salvaged what I could.

Even though this boy was wearing ruffles and flowers, he still had to be the one in charge of the fire. He lit Lucy's birthday candles like a big boy. You can see that Lucy looks a little unsure about her brother with a lighter in hand.
This is my favorite picture of the whole party. I love how Sammy is peeking up over the table's edge!
I LOVE this girl and I am so proud to be her mom.

A HUGE thank you to my mom and our adopted Aunt Lisa who came to help. There would not be ONE single picture of the party without them! I would have been running around like a crazy lady.
