Kalaya is pretty good about deciding what kind of birthday party she wants around December of the year before. Last year it was Dora-- this year it's Strawberry Shortcake! We're so excited! Matter of fact-- the cute part is that my 3rd or 4th birthday party was Strawberry Shortcake too ( no, none of us can remember which one exactly)
And you can't hate on her pre planning....it gives us almost a year to look around for decorations, presents, and plan the cake. ( this also means we get to find good deals)
Since she's planning ahead, she's also annoucing ahead. Therefore, EVERYONE knows what kind of party she is going to have--- even the BoJangles lady.
" Mama! Mama! Tell her I want egg and tell her I'm having a Strawberry Shortcake party!"
(They probably think I lace my biscuit in the morning from the many things I've had to tell them from her.)
Anyways, since everyone knows about the party- everyone is starting ahead of time getting things together.
This is the most adorable Strawberry Shortcake apron that Nana's pastors' wife made for Kalaya.
She gave it to her a couple of Sunday's ago and Kalaya has worn it since.
And I never mind-- it makes for the biggest smiles!
