Valencia's Garden Birthday Party

Here she is! My free-spirited hippy chick who only allows candid shots.

She is now 3 and successfully potty training. She has been very reluctant too though. I know she considers it easy just to use a diaper and I think she was just as weary as Mommy starting the potty training. I just did it with my 4 year old son a year ago. Why can't I remember how to do it? I'll tell you why. I didn't journal it and I of course didn't take pictures.
Me and my adorable nieces Bella & Ammiel. What beautiful Butterfly Birthday girls they made.


Some twinkling lights hanging from the ceiling of the tent. The same lights used at my wedding.


The atmosphere was relaxed and magical with this tent set up by my father who put so much effort into making this a beautiful and special party. He did a tremendous job and I heard the kids say numerous times it was the best day ever! How joyful!

Here are the Floral Headpieces I worked on right up until a few hours before we were leaving for the party. There were enough for all of the Birthday girls and the their mommies.
With it being a hot Summer night I wasn't being my normal neurotic picture taking self & I missed out on so many gorgeous shots of this day. Someday I hope I can hire a photographer for birthday parties.
