Happy Third Birthday, Marlee!

Today was Marlee's party. She was so excited. She had a brand new dress and so did her baby sister, Whittlee Jo. Before she knew it it was time to go to the Fellowship Hall at the church.  When they walked in it was all decorated with beautiful tablecloths, and tea pots. Some of the tea pots had beautiful flowers in them. The table had china plates and dessert plates, saucers and tea cups. Each place had a pretty glass if you wanted something cool to drink; there was even lavender lemonade!

In the front of the room there were bags of goodies for people that had come to celebrate with her. In the middle was a beautiful pink doll bed. And oh, there were so many presents for her. Marlee was such a lucky girl.

There were other kids there too! Her cousins were there and some other children that loved to play with her new ice cream stand that she had gotten. They even had their very own table and chairs just their size.

There were beautiful cup cakes (Marlee calls them pupcakes) and a little cake shaped just like a tea pot. Everything was so beautiful. There was so much food all kinds of sandwiches, and little tiny quiches. Oh there were little tasty baguettes that were so good. Marlee couldn't even remember all the things that were so good to eat. Because she was so busy! She opened the gifts with the help of her mama and daddy. It seemed like she was getting her picture taken all the time. Today she didn't care. She was so happy! She even had a little sticker from a birthday card she wore on her dress. It said that she was 3! It was such a fun day. People took lots of pictures of the ice cream stand. It even had a little bell that was so much fun. All you had to do is pull the string and the bell rang. When Marlee got home she played with Whittle Jo. She charged her $20 for an ice cream cone.

Here are some of the people that came to help Marlee celebrate. Joann, and Grandma Lu were there. Aunts and Uncles and many friends. Grandmas and Grandpas. The fun part was that she seemed like she knew them all! Such a wonderful family Marlee has.

When it was time for people to leave they could even plant their very own African Violet or take one home that was all planted for them. Marlee and Grandma B planted one together. Oh what wonderful memories were made.

This is where Marlee sat so that she could see everyone and of course, to open all of her gifts!

Happy Third Birthday, Marlee!
