Wow, how time flies! I cannot believe that my baby girl is 3 already. I am so blessed to have some of the most beautiful children ever and I love to celebrate their special days in a big way. This year, Miss Jade wanted a fairy princess tutu tea party, yes, you heard right, she wanted. May be hard to believe but this little diva came up with her own party theme. Gone are the days where I get to control every aspect of the party (I took planning Nolon's parties for granted). Now my 3 year old had an opinion that she will not let you ignore. First it started out with the request to have a tea party for her bir-dae (Jade voice), then that was upgraded to a tutu tea party. Next I was informed that she and all her friends needed a crown for the party. Two weeks later she added wings. I was thinking, you can't be serious, oh but she was. Needless to say, Mommy came through in grand fashion. Here's a few pics from the party. If you want to see the full album of photos, visit our family photo share page (https://jazzmyneanddedrick.shutterfly.com/pictures/918). I am sooooo grateful to great friends who sent me their snapshots after the disaster of deleting all the photos from the party...a total of 515 to be exact. I was so distraught I did 2 hours of research on the internet to find a way to recover the photos. I am happy to say that my searching was not futile as I found an awesome software package by SanDisk that was able to recover 98% of the photos in their original format! So excited! Praise God!!
In addition to her party, Miss Jade also requested a big girl princess bed for her "bir-dae". I started out by looking for inspiration on Pinterest (http://www.pinterest.com/jazzmyne11/jades-big-girl-room/). After realizing that most of what I wanted was too costly for a 3 year old, I found myself at old reliable Target where I picked a really nice solid pink bedding set and white bookshelf. I also found a pillow cover and fabric (which I turned into a throw blanket for the foot of her bed) on Etsy to match her little chair that my sister got her last year. The pièce de résistance was the boa pink canopy above her bed courtesy of Bed Bath and Beyond. And wa-lah, instantly happy 3 year old! Check out the pics, don't think it came out too bad if I do say so myself.
