Georgia Kate's 4th Birthday Party!



On Sunday, July 16th we celebrated Georgia Kate's birthday with a fun, girly party at Storybook Cottage!  She was SO excited about her party.  It was too cute!  She will get to celebrate with her brothers and Daddy on her actual birthday, so this one was just for the girls! :) 

Happy Birthday, "Geogia" ;)

This little girl of mine is such a treasure!

She was so excited to have Perry at her party!

The girls all chose dresses and accessories to put on when they arrived and then got their nails painted.


Next, it was time for the fashion show!  Each girl got introduced and then walked over to pose for a picture.  I loved seeing all of the different poses! :)

PERRY! :)

Such a sweet group of friends!

Then it was time to decorate cupcakes and sing "Happy Birthday"!





Georgia Kate was so excited to use a real tea cup.

Perry decided it was time for a wardrobe change!

After cupcakes, the girls listened to a story.


They also decorated their pictures from the fashion show.

We wrapped up the party by letting the birthday girl open her gifts!  Her friends were all so sweet and thoughtful.  
This is Georgia's sweet school friend, Wesson.  She was shy during the fashion show. :)

The birthday girl talked all about her party the rest of the day.  I think she felt very special and loved!

House Before and Afters

 Since moving into our house on Blue Holly Lane about 3 months ago, we have made a few changes to make it feel more like us.  We loved the layout, location, and backyard of this house when we bought it and it's been fun to see it evolve over the last few months!  The "before" pictures are from the house listing and include the previous owners' furniture and decor.   The major things we changed are flooring, paint, the fireplace, adding a built-in, changing out part of the kitchen backsplash, replacing a few light fixtures, and making the front landscaping more symmetrical.  I didn't include pictures of the study or the bathrooms because the study is currently being used as our storage unit and the bathrooms haven't really changed other than paint color.

I realized after posting these that lighting makes everything look really different and clearly I should not be a real estate photographer. ;) 

We've enjoyed making our house on Blue Holly Lane into our home!
