Stella's 3rd birthday!

What a great birthday for little Stella! She had a great time celebrating her ballet-themed party with all of her friends! Eva, Bodie, Hanne, Janie, Molly, Carmen, Anderson, Lane, Rachel, Annabel, Katie and Clara were all there to help celebrate.

A few shots of the scene...

Todd's cake - one word - fantastic! He did the entire thing himself and used gum paste for the first time. The cake was chocolate with a mint chocolate filling (per Stelly's request). It was beautiful and delicious!

This next picture is of Mrs. Oakley. She is a wonderful woman who does story time at Quail Ridge books. Stella absolutely loves her, her stories and her awesome crafts! Both Stella and I were thrilled when Mrs. Oakley agreed to read a Miss Lina's Ballerinas and do a craft with her party guests. She brought adorable ballet slippers that the kid's painted with watercolor and laced with pink ribbon!

Stella wasn't sure about everyone singing to her. She was really focused on the candles!

birthday cake blowout!

After cake, we had a surprise visit from a sweet sugar plum fairy ballerina. The kids (and adults) watched as she performed the Sugar Plum Fairy dance from the Nutcracker. After the performance, she showed the girls a few ballet moves!

Stella was so into her new toys that her friends brought for her, she really didn't want any pictures taken of her after the party :) She had a blast, especially with her new My Little Pony house and her new book from Mrs. Oakley. She told me that her absolute favorite part of the party was the pink smashmallows aka marshmallows!
