A beautiful party for a beautiful girl...

Loved the bright colors...
Cupcakes

The kids' lunches were packed with heart shaped PB&J and other kid-friendly foods, then labeled with their names - genius.

My favorite detail - 'Kka Kka' means 'crackers' or 'snacks' in korean baby language. :) Noelle LOVES kka kka.

Elyse was actually getting over a cold and was very tired... she almost fell asleep during her bottle break. 
It's hard work being the center of attention!
