Lily's Birthday Nirvana

Unlike her mother, Lily absolutely loves to craft!  She would, and does, spend hours in her room creating art projects and making decorations and generally just being cute.  So rather than stressing about my own ineptitude, I decided to leave Lily's birthday party to the crafting professionals!  Enter Ever After Scrapbooks!!  What a day our little princess had.  She got to invite her friends to the scrapbook store, where one of the teachers had designed a custom project with our little 8-year old in mind!  The girls got to create and play and embellish to their heart's delight.  Throw in some pizza, chips and cake and Lily said it was "the best day ever".  And she absolutely deserved every minute of it!!

 Lily picked out the theme herself---DOGS!  Is anybody surprised?  I don't know if she'll ever get over her love of dogs.

 Lily and her two friends from school, Allie and Harmony.  These three are basically always together and act like they haven't seen each other in years when it's been one day!

 About to open her box of crafting goodies!  Can't handle the anticipation!!!

 Busy bees working on their picture banners and door hangers.

 Her special chocolate chocolate chip bundt cake.  

 All the little girls with their finished picture banners.  They all turned out so cute and the girls had an absolute blast making them!

McPherson and Olson girls forever!!
