Champagne & Cupcakes Success!

The cupcake mini buffet turned out just as I had imagined.  Really the whole palace shined!  Kaila cleaned, cleaned and cleaned.   I baked, baked and baked!  I got to do all the fun stuff and she was an excellent Cinderella.  I couldn’t have been happier.. well maybe I would have been happy to have a couple extra hours beforehand, but isn’t that always the way?

And because of those few extra hours I didn’t have.. My well meaning invitation to the parentals?  That turned into me having to put them to work.  OOPS!  Although, they’re the best ones to have - catering background and all.

I was happy to share our new place with them.

This is probably my favorite picture from the whole night.  It’s nice to be surrounded by these lovely ladies in my life.

The karaoke machine was an EXCELLENT idea.  An EXCELLENT hand-be-down from my cousin.  Karaoke is one of those things that as much as people resist or say it’s not there thing - well all it takes is one.  One person to start and then the rest generally follow.

{Disclaimer: alcohol always helps.}

This is a very special photo to each of these ladies.  My oh my how we’ve “grown”.
