Partying as big sisters do

To make Small Fry feel extra-special and help soften the blow of soon having to share the spotlight, my mom and sister threw her a lovely big sister party.
That morning, she shunned Mommy’s skirt and dress suggestions and opted instead — fittingly — for her Wonder Woman t-shirt and rainbow striped pants. Perfect.
Laura and Mom really pulled out all the stops: a craft table where Small Fry painted a onesie for baby brother or sister, a Dora edible fruit arrangement, chick- and bunny-shaped finger sandwiches, CUPCAKES, presents.
Such a special little event. And so filled with love.
Hooray for big sister!

Are my hormones raging? This makes me want to cry! How sweet and what a wonderful one-of-a-kind onsie. I’m sure she’ll love seeing that on her new real life baby.

In wonder if we can find some more reasons to throw parties where Gigi’s cupcakes are involved. Hmm, the royal wedding is coming up!
Ps. Small Fry rocked that Wonder Woman t-shirt. Describes her and YOU so perfectly!

What a thoughtful and easy way to remind a soon-to-be new odler sibling how special she is! I love this idea!

I love the photos of her sniffing the rose and eating the cupcake. How fun!
