Cordelia Is Three! {And a Penguin Party!}

February 25, 2015 by Aliesha

On Saturday, we celebrated Cordelia’s third birthday!  She requested a penguin party!

My mom made some adorable penguin bunting banners.

My talented friend Stuart made penguin and snowflake sugar cookies for the party!  DSC_0179copysm

If you’re local and want her contact info, I can put you in touch!  I’m convinced she can make anything!

We were blessed to have our family come celebrate with us!  Pops, MiMi, Grandanny, Grammy, Uncle Phillip, Uncle Nich, Uncle Jed, Aunt Angela, Brayden, Drew, and Haley all came to the party!  Our table was as tightly packed as it can get, and we used every available chair in the house! I love having so many people in my dining room!

We ate warm soup, homemade breads, fresh salad, and lots of cheese on the soups!

    This is all so adorable! And the kids look sooo happy!
    Those cookies blow my mind! I have seen several like that going around (not with the penguins, but just in general) and I just cannot even comprehend how someone made them! Such talent!

      Oh, and did I mention she has a 7 month old? Yes, so much talent!
