Along with all of Harper’s fun tutus & dresses for the girls to play with, we also got some glitter glue pens & poms for them to make their own crowns. I just cut them out of a roll of kraft paper, it was so cute watching Harper use glitter pens for the first time, although I will definitely be picking sparkles out of my carpet for years to come.
We sang Happy Birthday, she made her wish & blew out her candle. And then immediately sneezed on her cake. So we all ate cupcakes instead. I love this picture & her sweet little smile!!
After birthday cake, Harper & her friend Veronica put on their Ana & Elsa Frozen dresses so they could have a little dance party. Maybe the cutest thing ever!
The weather was so beautiful, so we got to hang outside for the rest of the afternoon. Harper got a big girl bike for her birthday so she had lots of fun riding it & ringing the bell. Brandon was definitely the most proud dad in the world teaching her to ride it. We can’t wait to continue her birthday celebration this week with our trip to Disney!! Happy almost third birthday Harper Eve!

So cute! I am doing a princess/knight party for my little's 1st bday!
Her little gold dress is so cute! Turning 3 is the best for excitement at birthday parties. I have a photo of my oldest when she turned three jumping up and down ecstatically at every present she received. Have fun at Disney!

It looks like you all had such a great time. Everything looked gorgeous as always.

We had two sick kids around here too. I'm glad the girls were feeling better for the party. It looks like it was a fabulous party, and I love that the tutus were the inspiration and used as decor. So perfect for a three year old girl.

So sweet! I got my hubby a set of those sparkler candles for his birthday in December, just because I knew Sadie would flip over them…and I was right…her mind was blown! Birthday cakes will require "fireworks" from now on 😉 Have a great trip to Disney!
where is your pink shirt from?
What a beautiful party for your little princess! I just love your blog and all of the fun stuff you do. I love Harper's tutus! Where do you find them so full?? My little lady would love those! Thanks 🙂
Happy Birthday little one! These decorations are so lovely. (:
Um, this is how I want MY next birthday to be! 🙂
What a perfect party! Where did you get the sparkler candles and the 3 balloon?! Thanks!!
It seems like you just had her second birthday party! Wow, time flies. You always do such a beautiful job with parties.
How sweet! What was Harper's reaction when you told her about Disney?
Where is the sparkler candle from?
Fabulous as always!
I love everything about this!! Everything looks beautiful. I can't wait to see pics of Disney!! Happy birthday sweet girl!!
Your parties are always a mega hit! You make it all look so gorgeous. Maybe next time you should have an EAT cake for everyone…and then maybe a SNEEZE cake for the candle moment. Hysterical! And the family pic is awesome. You are glowing! Harper is beautiful. Her hair is perfect in this pic. And I think she looks so much like her dad in most pics…but she looks so much like you here. Have fun at Disney! And Happy Birthday Harper!!!!!
Happy Birthday to Harper! What a fun party! She looks SO grown up, I can't even believe it. I've been following your blog since you were pregnant with her and I can't believe what a little lady she has become! 🙂
Did you tell her you're going to Disney??
Happy Birthday Harper! Where did the gold 3 balloon come from? Also the sparkler candle? Thanks!
I'm so envious at your ability to throw such a gorgeous party with minimal decor/food! I always go all out and still feel like it's inadequate. Simply gorgeous. I am totally obsessed with that family photo! Harper's arm around Eloise is the sweetest thing EVER!
How adorable! Love her outfits 🙂 xx
Such a beautiful celebration! I cant wait to read all about Disney!

So cute! Love the simple, yet pretty decor. Happy Birthday to your sweet girl!
Hi!! Please let me know where you got the sparkler candle!! I.have.to.have.it!! Thank you
Happy birthday, Harper!
Any chance you sell the "be our guest" graphic on Etsy, Jessica? 🙂
Princess party! That sounds like a fun one to plan. It looks like the girls had a great time. Happy Bday Harper.
Time does seem to fly when you reach birthday milestone eh? Our littlest just recently had a birthday too – he turned two (already, sigh). He opted for a hockey theme – http://theplaceunderthepine.blogspot.ca/2015/02/oskie-turns-two-hockey-birthday.html
Happy birthday Harper! I love Eloise's gold bow dress. So cute!
Gosh, this part is perfection! The decor + cake + the super cute outfits for the girls!! I hope I could do something similar for my little girl.
hey sara! I've seen the candles at swoozies.
Everything looks so pretty!!!! What a lovely little celebration. Happy birthday little lady. Let's hoping this year is one filled with good health, as mommy will have her hands full 🙂
I have to laugh – I was a regular reader of your blog and life got busy and its been quite awhile. Eloise was a few months old last I read so when I popped on tonight I was so surprised to see #3 was on the way! Congratulations! The two of you make beautiful little ladies!
oh that last picture of Harper wrapping her hand around Eloise.. i just melted!! Adorable birthday party, love how you can take anything and make a theme out of it.
I was hoping for a video with Haper's reaction to the Disney news. How excited was/is she?!
I love the idea to use the tutu's as a backdrop! I think every mama has those "time flies" moments…every birthday, every month marker, every milestone. It's bittersweet 🙂 And I love Eloise's LHS dress…one of my fave lines for little's! Xo Chelsea play. wash. rinse. repeat.
I can't believe our babies are going to be three. I'm an emotional mess this week I'm not going to lie!
Happy Birthday Harper! My little girl will be 3 in April, and we are taking her to Disney as well! We are so very excited! We also just found out we are expecting our second baby! Hope you guys have a blast!
Happy Birthday to your sweet girl! It looks like she had a great party!
Happy Birthday Harper!!! I love all the colors. I read your blog and I love that you have girl because I have four and its so fun.
Summer party ideas do not need to be complicated or take much of your time. A holiday party is a great way to gather a group of friends for an intimate and casual event. You just need to be creative in planning the party.
So adorable! I love her cake! What a beautiful family!
Your party is awesome. I really enjoyed this while reading.
