A Princess Birthday Celebration

The garden lawn of the Hancock Barnhart residence was the recent setting of an elegant birthday reception for Elisabeth Anne Barnhart, age 3. Attendees included her immediate family - Mom, Dad, big sister Ella and younger brother Peter, her best friend Olivia along with her family - Ms. Julie, older brother Cameron and younger sister Heidi, and Grandma Rowe and Papa Rowe. (Mr. Kit was unable to attend due to Father's Day commitments with his paternal parental figure and his grandfather).

The activities included a luncheon of freshly grilled meats and accompanying side-dishes, a dessert of fresh strawberry shortcakes, some baseball on the lawn, low-flying airplane rides, and gift-opening. All parties involved had a smashing-good time, as evidenced in these photographic records.

Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the pictures, Rachel, and the smashing write-up. I feel like there was a hint of ANNE OF GREEN GABLES there.

Sweet, sweet, sweet! Grandma Barnhart would love to see these pictures. Remember how often she used to dress up and pose her granddaughters for pictures like this? Thank you for sharing these precious pictures with us.
