I can hardly believe I have a five year old. You know when you have your first baby and everyone and their mother (and the person behind you in the checkout line) tells you how fast time goes? I feel it. This year more than ever I am realizing just how quickly this phase of life is passing by. I mean, just yesterday I was holding this adorable, squishy new baby and had no idea what I was doing. Now, here I am, five years later, still no idea what I am doing, but now I am surrounded by three kids who are fairly independent. The days are long but the years are short: no truer words have been said!
Total tangent, I know. Last month we celebrated my first born’s fifth birthday with a girly unicorn beauty party. Scarlett has been obsessed with horses basically since she was born, but it has morphed into a love of unicorns in the past year and a half (because what could be better than horses than a horse with glitter and a horn and magic?). My mom is pretty much the coolest Mimi around and was able to CATCH AN ACTUAL UNICORN. Scarlett was completely convinced that she had caught a real unicorn for her party even though she has spent so much time around my mom’s barn and knows the horses… And to top it off, Mimi caught the SAME ONE for a photo shoot a couple days later! (Scroll past the party pics to see the photo shoot pictures). Amazing!… I will hold onto the childlike innocence as long as I can…
We kept her party to girls only and had a fun nail painting station when they first came in.
Now onto the photo shoot pictures… this girl’s year was made!
Special thanks to my mom for the Unicorn (a.k.a. LM Idols Remington Hawk or Remi) and Bekah Scadding for the gorgeous pictures! You can check out more of my mom’s horse farm here and business here.
