A special party

Like most children, Annabelle loves books. Her favorite book right now is Olivia and the Missing Toy. I must read it a dozen times a day to her. She has it memorized and can often be found "reading" it to her babies.

She doesn't have too many of her own books though. So we decided to have a book themed party for her this year. Specifically, but not limited to Olivia.

I made these invitations based on the art work from this, her favorite book:

Her cake is three stacked books, in her favorite colors of pink and purple.

Chocolate, Strawberry and Vanilla, the layers.

In case it's difficult to read from the picture, her full name is written on the spine of each book: Annabelle Ceridwyn Martin

Special gifts included a book bag and a doll house-shaped book shelf and many wonderful books that she will enjoy for a very long time.

At the end of the day, Annabelle was one happy little girl. In three days, my baby will be three!
