a butterfly birthday.

our mabel is now 3!

yesterday we had such a fun day celebrating

at the discovery kids museum @ the gateway.

we also joined up with anna, kate & abby

for waffles @ the yummiest waffle place, bruges.

try the waffle monster. it's delicious.

later we celebrated again with her birthday bud, anna

and ate cake, ice cream & strawberries. yummy.

and, today, mabel invited her 4 girl cousins

over for a butterfly tea.

we had tons of fun doing girly things

{nail painting, tutus, stick-on earrings, and butterfly eyes}

and eating girly things

{butterfly pb&j's, raspberries, strawberries,

butterfly cheeses and flower meats}.

with butterflies everywhere,

it was quite magical.

waiting for her guests to arrive.
