It is so much fun when you see characteristics of yourself in your children! My sweetie, who is only 3, is proving to be the little hostess with the mostess! A girl after my own heart!!! She LOVES parties and was determined, while she and I were iced in at home on my birthday, to perfectly orchestrate a party for me.
It started with making birthday cookies from the dough we were saving for Valentine’s day. With a little help from me, they turned into adorable hearts and flowers (her idea) in two fabulously complimentary shades of pink…”blush and bashful” one much deeper than the other.
And then a birthday candle was a must! I showed her a little trick with melting some wax onto the plate to make the candle stand up on its own…a trick she was especially impressed with! And certainly no party is complete without a vocal performance of “Happy Birthday”. And with her being a performer (when she is not being a hostess, that is), she was very happy to oblige!
And to top it all off, the tablescape was lovely with matching hot pink tulips! She must have been in cahoots with her grandparents to make sure the flowers they sent were consistent with her theme!
I definitely think this little hostess has many more soirees in her future! And she made one Mommy’s birthday just perfect!
She is adorable, Tobi! It definitely looks like she takes after her mom.
That is the most precious little story of your birthday! I am so glad you two had fun! Adorable picture! Hope your birthday was perfect…I mean I don’t know what could have topped it off anymore than Ellison’s Bday party for you!
Aw, she is so cute! You two look so much alike, she definitely takes after you!
What a lovely party, a happy belated birthday to you!!
Happy Birthday Tobi! My daughter is 11 and she, too, makes my life so much richer. It’s our daughters that feed our souls and it sounds like your daughter is well on her way in filling that role for you! She’s so sweet!
Aah! She is just the cutest! What a special day it must have been for both of you
Happy Birthday Tobi!
Nothing better!!!
