tea for 22?

so little chloe is now 3..

{insert tear here}

i just can not believe my little firecracker is becoming such a big girl..

she is mellowing out and i don't have as many crazy, hysterical, i feel so frustrated stories for you..

but that is why this blog is so amazing..

i can go back and remind myself.. laugh.. cry.. and move on..

lately..

she went to a big girl bed.

she ate a cucumber the other day?!!

she says "no mommy, i do it".

she went to her first drop off birthday party..(although.. i know the mom well)

she has her very own friends.

she goes to the refidgerator, opens the door grabs her gallon of milk.. proceeds to drag it through the entire, just house to tell me she is thirsty...

and those sweet little cheeks, that darling voice, those adorable toes, those big brown eyes..

i can go on and on.

i love you so much chloe and am soo proud of you.

happy birthday sweetie pie.

0k. i am done..

so.

here are some photos of the little soiree!

a tea party for 22 wee one's..

a couple girls getting a sneak peak of the tea cup cupcakes..

"which one shall i choose?"

a very difficult decision.

 they all waited sooo patiently for the face painting..

i was in awe that they really just simply waited.
