Birthdays and Butterflies

Just seems like yesterday that I was in the hospital bringing this beautiful little beam of sunshine in to the world. I already had a gorgeous little boy but dreamed and dreamed of having a little girl one day. A little bff. A little mini me. Dresses and bows. Dollies and Tea parties.

My wish came true on October 2, 2007.

Happy Birthday Little Miss October!

Flash forward 3 years. Unbelievable how time has passed so quickly. So many amazing moments with her and milestones. I'm beyond blessed to have her in our lives. This darling, girly little inquisitive child of ours who sings Miley Cyrus, Adam Lambert and Mike Posner songs at the top of her lungs. She's all personality and pigtails, this one.

Her day was all about pretty colors and butterflies for this birthday. She wore pink sparkly wings, a swarovsky blingged out pink flower in her hair, a cute shirt with a piece of cake on it with a rosette, a ruffle skirt and chocolate colored glittered mary janes.



Nana Pat, who always makes her 4 grand children's birthday cakes, created a frothy pastel butterfly embellished masterpiece. It was chocolate cake with banana filling and whipped frosting. I saved most of the butterflies and flowers so I can add them to a mini book or scrapbook page of the day.

Here is my little butterfly princess with her two equally cute cousins Savannah and Isabella. They are all 3 years old. Just months from each other. I really wanted to take a picture of them together to show them when they are teenagers. Teenagers?

OH. EM. GEE.

She blew out the candles, wished away, she was the superstar of the day. Happy Birthday love buttons.
