Charlie the Elf Arrives

Last year we began the magical tradition of the Elf on the Shelf. If you are unfamiliar with this it is a magical elf sent from Santa Claus to watch over the children to ensure their best behavior. He cannot talk to the kids, nor can they touch him, but he does listen to them and reports back to Santa each night. Each morning the elf has a new hiding spot and it is so much fun to watch Avery Reese search the house for him.

We named our special elf Charlie and this morning he reappeared bringing with him a North Pole breakfast, Christmas jammies and a letter for Avery Reese and Hudson.

Princess Tea Party

Avery Reese has been talking about her birthday since Hudson's in October, so I wanted to make sure her fourth birthday was very special. Avery Reese is a very girly girl (not sure where this comes from.....) so I thought a Princess Tea Party was the perfect fit for my Princess. Perfectly Fun Parties did all the planning, set-up, activities, and clean-up so Brad and I could sit back, take photos and enjoy watching Avery Reese.

Since the party was at our house we invited Avery's closest girlfriends. The party was not only fun, but beautiful. Avery Reese and her friends had a blast dressing up, getting make-up, listening to a story, making magical wands and of course having tea. Being a Princess is so much fun!
