the party

Eden's party was last night, and our house was full of family and close friends that came to celebrate :)
Eden absolutely loved her birthday outfit.
Jess from polkadots and pirates sent us the adorable tutu and the hat and bib are from Rachel of goldenshop. These two are friends and team up on projects, their collaborations are perfection!
Tessa wants an outfit like Eden's for her birthday, so we will be placing an order soon :)

Eden ran around the house happy and excited!
Jess from polkadots and pirates also sent us these CUTE cupcake toppers. 
we sang happy birthday...
and then the real fun began...








Happy birthday Eden!!! 
We love you!!!
