To say REESE is excited about her birthday is more than an understatement.  The first thing REESE says to anyone we're around is, "My party coming soon!"  Every time we go to grandma Janet's it's this same phrase and we go there at least every other day.  She tells everyone at church, the park, the stores, anywhere we are this same phrase.  She has helped me put together all the party bags with great excitement. I can find her daily in the spare bedroom looking through the bags and boxes of party supplies and when she gets caught her reply is with a huge smile and... yup, you guessed it... "My party coming soon!"

When it came time to take her picture to put on the invitation, she was more than ready.  She posed left and right and blew kisses at us as we snapped away.  I don't love the invitation after I finished and normally I would have redone them, but I'm pregnant and tired!  So, I settled!

I printed these invitations out as 5X7's, rolled them up and stuck them in these clear bottles with a cork on top.  Get it?  Message in a bottle?  I also put some sand in the bottles along with a drink umbrella and a pair of mini sunglasses.  I topped it off with the names tied to the bottle with raffia and turquoise tulle.  They turned out pretty cute I guess.  We're going to hand deliver them tomorrow to all of her friends.  This will be interesting to watch her deliver them.  I wonder what she will say...
