Carrie's 3rd Birthday

Carrie wanted to have a princess tea party for her birthday. It turned out really fun. I think my favorite part was that the boys wanted to participate even in a girly party.

First we painted our own teapots (thank you Relief Society junk exchange) just like in Sofia's tea party.  Carrie loves Sofia the First.

Carrie was so excited about this pink princess dress until she saw one of the girls wearing her old Sofia dress.  Luckily Ember was willing to trade so the meltdown did not go any further.  One thing about Carrie is that she feels everything very deeply!

All the girls dressed up

Carrie wanted a pick Sofia cake

James dressed up to serve tea.  It was really cute.  He talked about it for weeks before.

Spencer, who wears only t-shirts and gym shorts except in dire cases ie church elected to participate by putting on a magic show for the girls.

I love Carrie's excitement.  Her grandma's suplied her with plenty of Sofia things which she loved.

Some things about 3 year old Carrie. 
Carrie is very independent.  She gets her own snacks all the time, which will be nice when she is older but now it's a little crazy.  She loves her siblings.  She is always talking about her good brothers when they are away and cannot get enough of baby Leah.  Carrie is a noticer, she is always wiping up Leah's spit up- which is very helpful.  She feels disappointment and happiness so deeply that I think if you looked the word Diva up in the dictionary you would see her picture.  We love you Carrie!
