Hear ye, Hear ye, Bria is turning 3!

This is the first year Bria has had a friend birthday party. We've always lived by so much family that just getting together was a party. Now that we live in Colorado with so many great friends around, we had to have a party!! So, naturally, we had a Princess Nice Cuppa Tea party. Anyone who knows Bria, knows that it's the perfect theme for her. I had so much fun planning this (thanks again to my BFF Angela for all of the ideas!) The girls dressed up as princesses (and got crowns and wands) and the boys were knights (who got helmets and swords). We rented out our apartment club house so we could have plenty of room to party!

A few of the guests of honor:

The Royal Court: Queen Nonna holding Princess Sofia and Queen Kristin holding Princess Bria.

Slaying the dragon:

Reaping the rewards of a job well done!

Then it was time for some birthday cupcakes and a Nice Cuppa Tea.

Bria loved all of her presents!

We had so much fun, that it wore out a princess or two:

We were so glad to have Babbo and Nonna here to help us. I couldn't have done it without them. A HUGE thank you to my sweet, supportive husband. He makes my crazy sane. As per blogging tradition here goes:

Some of my favorite quotes from Bria:

1- While laying in bed, after reading stories, "Mom, you are my best friend."

2-Anytime we hear Sofia, "I'm coming, Sof!"

3-"mm, this is tasty."

I could go on and on. She loves all things pink and frilly and also loves to "rasle" her dad. I especially love her attitude that she inherited from me. She is an amazing older sister, who really loves her baby Sofia. Watching them together is one of the best parts of being a mom.

Happy birthday, Bria! I love you so much!
