Chef Millie’s Turns 3! Par-tay!

Posted on October 7th, 2008 by Kate. Filed in Events, A Life in the Day

We kicked it old-school for Millie’s third birthday party. There were no bounce houses or celebrity guests or new cars or diamond rings. We focused on family and friends and sugar….lots and lots of sugar. Of course I didn’t get any, but photographing kept me busy, thank God.

Held at our home away from home, Spoons Cafe, Millie’s party was chock full of good times, including cupcake decorating, dancing, drinkin’, and eatin’. Here are my faves from that day…there were a ton of fabulous moments!

It was great seeing Bobby’s cousin, Natalie, who came in from Burnet.
Millie thinks Nat hung the moon!

Toni from Spoons did an amazing job on the giant cupcake birthday cake!

Our good friend Jenn helps her son James get all chef-like.

Bobby’s mom is a hoot, and so is Millie’s buddy, Joshua! Crackin’ me up all over the place!

Millie was impressed by the fire. I hope that isn’t a sign for what’s to come in her teenage years.

Soooo adorable. I love how sweet Bobby is to our girl. They have the most precious relationship.

Not so great of me, but at least we got one of all three of us!

Millie, aka Shirley Temple, put on one heck of an impromptu performance for the guests.
The entire square footage of Spoons was her stage!

Mills just loves her Uncle Joe.

Cupcake decorating was the main event.

We were so glad to get to hang with Matthew and his mommy, Jackie.
We have known them since our baby playgroup days!

This is one of Millie’s BFFs, Harley. She is a whirling dervish who we just lurve so very much!

Very very sneaky (said with a Spanish accent).

Cousin Jack was gettin’ his grub on!

Uncle Scott and Aunt Sarah feed Mills one last little bit of sugar for the road.

That looks like such a great party! My girls would love that! The cupcake cake is awesome! I’ll have to show my Mom that one. She’s our birthday cake baker. I love the cupcake theme though with all the polka dots and such. Definitely a birthday to remember!

Thank’s for such a great shindig! I think the sugar is still working its way out of our system.
