addie's princess tea party

We had a great celebration for Addie, full of family and friends but unfortunately it did not go off without a hitch. I had this grand plan of having a princess character come and entertain all the little princes and princesses but she was a no-show! My only saving grace was that it was a surprise for Addie and she had no idea. I couldn't wait to see the look on her face when a "princess" came through our door. My heart breaks just writing this, but I'm glad it's just my heart and not hers. 

All in all it was a great day...until I later learned that all of the pictures I had taken were lost. Gone! Again HEART-BROKEN! Here's a few pictures that our friends had captured for us of her party. We are so grateful to friends who took these, friends who were calling trying to get ahold of Storybook Princesses, family who helped me with all of the food and decorations and everyone who came to help make our girl feel special! We love you Addelyn Ann you are so special to us!
