Time To Party, Baby!



It's that time of year again!


Right now, I'm finalizing the party planning for THE party of the year for Isabella, and last year's precious addition to our family, Gabriella.





You may know that each year, I throw a sweet costume ball for my Bella princess.





Well, this year will be her "4th Annual Costume Ball", and it's very special celebration, because for the first time she will share this party with her baby sister, Gabby, who turned a year old, September 11.


  • DOUBLE the fun!!!


This party is by far THE highlight of any event I could plan for the year. It's so sweet, so warm, and, I love making my little girl(s) smile.






What makes this celebration awesome is the creative little costumes each guests wears. The invitation above (from the 1st ball) are some of my favorite costumes for babies!


Since Bella was born right before Halloween, I thought it would be fun to incorporate the spirit of dress up each year as a tradition. She loves dress up more than ever and she is really getting into her costume parties.




It's such a big deal now, that I actually start planning for the next year as soon as the party is over!


When I started throwing the costume parties, we (The Chatty Daddy and I) didn't dress up and we didn't ask any adults to either.





Now, we go all out!





And we expect our guests to as well (young and old)





Each year gets EVEN BETTER...



Can you wait to see what we'll do this year?
