oh, the pink.

We had a little celebration the other night.

lula3-1

Someone very special was turning three.

lula3-3

And she requested everything in pink.

lula3-7

Except the cake. That she wanted in yellow and white. And pink.

Thankfully the local bakery had one all made up – white with pink and yellow flowers. Because mama can’t do that.

lula3-8

As her first birthday home with us – and despite the fact that we had just moved in days before – we tried to fulfill all her two-turning-three-year-old requests.

We served pink Fanta soda.

Pink ice cream.

lula3-11

We found her a Cinderella dress in pink.

And a Lalaloopsy doll in pink.

lula3-12

Based on her reaction, I’d say all the pink paid off.

Happy Birthday, sweet baby girl.

We love you like crazy.

    These pictures are just adorable. So cute that she knew just what she wanted, right down to a white,pink and yellow cake. So sweet that you paid so much attention to the details, including pink soda and ice cream. The gifts were simple yet obviously a big hit with her. I love the last photo of her hugging her pink dolly and wearing her new dress. Happy first birthday at home, Tallula!! So glad it was everything you wanted it to be.

    Happy Birthday Talulla!!! That is too cute!! Given her love of all things pink, do the girls have the pinkalicious series? My kiddo was given a second copy of Pinkalicious and Goldilicious that I’d LOVE to pass on to your girls if they don’t have it? No need for TWO copies in this house no matter how awesome Pinkalicious is! Just let me know!! ๐Ÿ˜‰
