A Party for a Princess


Dahlia had her birthday party yesterday (even though her birthday is tomorrow....). When I asked her what kind of cake she wanted, she declared "Pink!" so we went with that. I threw in some Princesses & before we knew it, we had a very pink princess party! Just up her alley (sidenote: no matter how hard you try to 'shield' your kids from things like the DISNEY PRINCESSES...they will love them anyway. Hmph! Might as well go with the flow...)

We had a small party this year with Grandparents only. 5 of the 6 Grandparents were in attendance (Roger wasn't feeling well & it was bitterly cold).

We had pizza & veggies, cake & ice cream. She was wired from the moment she woke up & loved telling each guest who each & every princess was (on plates, napkins, etc).

And the presents! She had so much fun - a Princess tunnel & "desk" with pictures to color; a new suitcase loaded with a Hello Kitty robe, undies & other assorted goodies; a Dora trunk filled with dress up clothes and from us a new trike & a winter Hello Kitty nightgown (she insists on wearing the 'summer' Hello Kitty nightgown even in these frigid temperatures!).

Needless to say, she had a wonderful time. It is so much fun watching her as she gets older & how she enjoys things on a completely different level now. I think Christmas will really be a blast this year!

Happy Birthday Dahlia!

Pink is definitely the theme for 3 year olds - maddy wanted this as well! Your cupcakes are beautiful! You're the best.
(Maddy chose a cake at the grocery store the food coloring stains her face so badly I cannot remove it....scary)



Christmas will definitely be fun this year!

I figured it out....

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

Privacy, please!

Well, the time has come. After 6 1/2 years (!?) Naturally Optimistic will be going private at the start of the new year. If you are interested in still reading my INCREDIBLY exciting posts & commenting on my cute children, email me & I will put you on the invite list. Like I said - it won't happen for another couple weeks, but there ya go. Time to make a change. I'm kind of sad because I've met some cool people - randomly - by having this blog....but the phase of putting all my stuff out there for everyone to read is over. Thanks!
