4th Wedding Anniversary

Brig and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary. This year I went with a golfing theme and played off the word "FORE". We had fun frisbee golfing and eating club sandwiches (well, we never actually had the sandwiches because plans changed, but that was the original idea). I gave him a golf shirt and a coupon to go golfing with his brother. I also hid golf tees and let him know that when he found them he was supposed to remember how much I loved him. 

Here are a few pictures to remember.

Some simple table decorations complete with plumes and azure butterflies.

Lunch at the "King's Crown"...I thought Crown Burger was pretty close.

Parfaits for dessert

Corsages

A game of "Pin the Accessory on the Lucy"

Paper dress up dolls:

An ice cream sundae inspired cake (please be kind, cake decorating is not my forte...I have resolved to take a class:)

And some thank you gifts.

Bracelets

And Ring Pops

Happy 3rd Year Lucy!

Birthday Invitations for Lucy

This year for Lucy's birthday,  we're going for a dress-up/Fancy Nancyesque themed celebration. Here are the invitations that have been sent out. 

The first one is a small lunch party with Grandma and a some girl cousins Lucy's age.

The little dolls, clothes, accessories come off of the page and stick together like a little

paper doll

that you can play with when you're done with your invitation.

The second one is a party for the whole family a couple of days before Lucy's birthday. We are going to have parfaits like Fancy Nancy has with her family (plus Lucy likes ice cream much better than cake).

This little doll invitation has multiple changes of clothes as well, with party information on each dress.

P.S. The dolls I printed weren't in color, so I used watercolor pencils to paint them all.
