We almost didn’t make it to the party.
Mary almost forgot to dress up.
I almost forgot my camera.
But I’m so glad I didn’t.
Fog rolled over the valley that evening creating a mystical, magical mood…
and inside, surprises peeked around every corner.
A few party planning tips from Kit & Kevin:
1. talk until the middle of the night for weeks dreaming up magical details.
2. keep the guest list small so everyone gets plenty of attention
3. insist on proper apparel
4. have a mother who designed and manages an incredible, dreamlike greenhouse for the party location (OK, that one might be hard for the rest of us)
5. love your children so brilliantly, so beautifully that it shines through in every action.
I can catch a few photos
but I can’t compete with the adoration she has for her mommy.
Even Ben wore wings (as did Erik and Xander and Hans etc); everyone at a fairy party needs the ability to fly.

Mary scarcely stood still.
searching for the perfect wish
the pinata
creating fairy gardens
The empty pinata became Gabe’s treasure
And everyone went home feeling deliciously, delightfully loved.

What? The boys didn’t dress as fairies? They are no fun at all.
Tasha
Oh my gosh, that is so precious! I wish I could of gone! And I love that your boys are not too cool to go to a little girl’s fairy party and wear wings. That says a lot about them.
Tifani
I adore the picture of her thinking about her wish. That is perfect!
Sue
Magic! My favorite thing.
=)
Natasha
Beautiful! I would have loved to have a party like this when I was little. Your daughter’s outfit is too cute. It’s also great that your sons were willing to dress in wings. 🙂
katieo
so beautiful!
(but I’m sorry – Gabe’s socks are my favorite.)
Michelle
I’ve never met a such a tiny girl with such an enormous personality.
Except maybe Mary. Right? 😉

Pure magic is right – what an entirely sweet party and the cutest fairies ever!
Tracy
It looks like pure magic. There is nothing like a birthday party.

Michelle- You have done it once again!!!! The night was magical and memorable for me as the Daddy of little Ms. Elle but you have brought that all back to life for me again. I joked about Kit seeing these and getting all teary eyed, but in all honesty after you and Erik left I looked at them again and felt my eyes water up because of how truly blessed I am to have such a wonderful wife, beautiful sweet babies and amazingly sweet and talented friends! Thank you, thank you a million times, I adore these!!!!
