Since Arielle's and Emma Grace's birthdays are so close, Anneke and I decided to do a joint party this past Saturday. I'm so glad we did! We each added our own touches and it was absolutely beautiful! I'm almost thinking we should start a birthday catering business. I love it so much!
Anneke decorated the cake. She made butterflies out of egg whites, powdered sugar, and food coloring.
She also cut butterflies from felt and hung them from some tulle that we hung between the trees.
I knit scrappy purses for all the girls and stuffed them with sassy frass hair bands as well as goodies my mom sent me from the states! I think the girls liked them! I sewed a piece of material on the inside so I could personalize them with their names.
The birthday fun consisted of...
The girls (and boys) making beaded necklaces...with some help from bigger hands!
Blowing out candles after the Happy Birthday song.
Opening gifts.
And then cooling off poolside.
Other shots...
Mommies and their daughters.
Siblings enjoying the party.
Grandma and Grandpa, Emma Grace says THANK YOU for the princess stuff!
When it got too hot, she made a quick wardrobe change to the dress Anneke made her, but of course kept the crown. She is a princess, after all.
It was a perfect day with 2 sweet little girls, their friends,
our friends and great fun.
Birthday hand knits to be revealed soon!

What a dream party for any little girl! Everything looked so beautiful! You guys most definitely should go into the birthday party business! Looks like a super special day for everyone that was there, but especially for the little birthday princesses! :)
What super cute creativity you poured out on these girls!
All I can say is WOWzies!!! I'm going to your house for my parties next year! :) I love the cake and the felt butterflies, how beautiful!
Awesome! The joint birthday party you held for Arielle and Emma is colorful and creative! Looking at these pictures, it seems that the children had a wonderful time at the party. Why don’t you push through with your plan of having your own catering business? After seeing your creativity, I’m quite sure the business will be a success!
