ARTFULLY AVOIDING THE LANDFILL (& driving my husband crazy) ONE PIECE OF JUNK AT A TIME

Princess Marlee's First Birthday

It's hard to believe our Little Princess is already a year old.  We had a great time at her party today hosted by Sarah's parents at their beautiful home in rural Red Oak.  All the boys were really looking forward to going to the party.  Chandler spent a little extra time getting ready...


 He wet the comb and styled his own hair, warning me not to touch it.  He also wanted to make sure his teeth were really clean.

When we arrived at the party, Miss Marlee was all decked out in her Princess  gown!


And everybody just had to hold her.  Here she is with Sarah's Grandpa Stan.


... And her Mommy, Sarah.


We always like to get together with Sarah's family, they are so nice!  And, Sarah's Grandma Janice and Nate's Grandma Rena always seem to have a lot in common...


 ... clothes, hair, relatives.  Uncanny, isn't it?

When it was time to dig into her cake, in true Princess fashion, Marlee was very neat and tidy about it.  She is most definitely all girl!
We found it a bit humorous that all the boys were enjoying their cupcakes and ice cream on Little Princess plates and daintily sipping their drinks from matching cups : )  These little cousins didn't seem to mind the party ware.


But I think it was a different story with these two guys who kind of went and sat at a table by themselves, away from the rest of the crowd. 


The boys had a great time playing outside in the Beeson's nice yard


and hunting Easter eggs hidden ever so carefully by Nate.


At the end of it all our little Princess was pooped.


 And we all went home, happily ever after.
