I had a lovely weekend that went so fast I can hardly believe it’s already over.
It began with a fun birthday dinner with some of my favorite people, and it ended with an early Easter lunch with my family (also some of my favorite people). 😉
As I was getting the table set for lunch yesterday, I could vaguely hear Miss L. pattering around in her room…
I could hear the sounds of her closet door opening and closing and some slamming of dresser drawers.
I hardly noticed as she sneaked by me while I snapped some pictures of the tulips…
I didn’t even think twice as she grabbed some of our Easter-themed paper plates and ran for her play room.
I had to giggle as I half-listened to her bossing her stuffed animals around.
(Bossing stuffed animals around is like her favorite pastime these days…)
The next thing I knew, she was grabbing some napkin rings out of the kitchen drawer, and tiptoeing back to her animals…
Out of curiosity, and tiptoeing myself, I followed her back to the playroom.
…and wouldn’t you know it?
She had changed herself into her Easter dress and had set up an “Easter Party” for her stuffed animals!
She was so proud. Please notice that each animal has his or her own plate, food, and napkin ring. I just can’t even. It’s just TOO cute.
I don’t know if I’m all emotional because my birthday was last weekend, or because my husband has a particularly weepy Pandora station on right now, but I can’t even look at this picture without getting a huge lump in my throat…
My baby is getting so big, and I’m so happy, but so sad about that.
I’m so proud of her.

Have a great day!

Your daughter is precious! They really do grow up too fast! Love the tulips on your table, we have the same white plates at our house:).
Thank you, Tara! I do love those plates…never will go out of style! 😉
Amazing photography…and such a sweet story! I understand…my ‘baby’ is now 10 and will soon be as tall as I am 🙁
Thank you, Cindy! I can’t even imagine how big of a blubbery mess I’ll be when she turns ten! Noooo! 😉 xo
She’s adorable! I love your Easter decorations April! Thank you for sharing 🙂
Thank so much, Maria!
She obviously takes after you ( = if you think this is tough, just wait until she starts dating ) = She’s an absolute doll, enjoy while you can. Love the tulips <3
Oh my goodness, Diena…I can’t even go there. Mr. Hoff and I will NOT be able to handle it. Ha! 😉
Oh that is so cute!! Miss L is so darling!! And I also love the tulips! That’s my favorite flower!!
Thank you, Shawnna! xo
Love your tablescape and the story about little miss L. She is so stinkin’ cute and love that she got her mama’s tablescape skills too!
Thank you, Sarah…she’s a hoot! 😉
Aw, too sweet!! I have pictures of my oldest doing the same kind of thing… setting up a picnic for all his stuffies. Such a precious age- enjoy it! You are right, it is fleeting:(
I think it’s the hardest part of being a mom…wanting them to stay little, but wanting them to get older…such a paradox! xo 😉
Ahhh that is SO cute. She must have learned that from her momma. 😉
Thank you, Shelby! 😉
Don’t ever wish her to stay little. She will grow up to be a wonderful young lady just like her mom.
Thank you, Camille! You are too sweet. 😉
Your table is so pretty & your daughter is an adorable cutie patootie!!
Thank you, Sherry! 😉
How lovely!! Love how you arranged the tulips in the jars, they look so pretty! Bright colored tulips just scream spring 🙂
