SARAH EMILY CARPENTER Sarah Carpenter turned three on August 1, 2008. She celebrated her third birthday on two occasions.

Sarah had a "Royal" party at Papa's Pizza on Saturday, August 2. The theme was Disney Princess. Seventeen guests joined her in celebrating this "grand" event.

Yellow tablecloths were placed on the adults' tables with a castle as the center piece. A balloon was tied to each chair. The princess and her royal subjects' table was covered in a Disney Princess tablecloth. Two balloons were tied to each chair while a huge castle balloon was tied to Princess Sarah's. A birthday tiara and wand were waiting at her spot at the table to complete her princess outfit. She also received a special birthday cup.

Photographs and a photo album of Princess Sarah's first three years lined the gift table and a banner, streamers and special flowers, completed the look.

Royal guests enjoyed a feast of pizza and soft drinks. Afterwards, Princess Sarah opened her presents with many squeals and giggles. Her favorite was the pink keyboard given to her by her big brother, Seth.

Next, everyone enjoyed cupcakes along with bubble gum ice-cream. Each young lady was presented a princess gift bag and each young man was given a pirate gift bag.

Sarah would like to thank everyone for celebrating her special day with her. A special thanks to Jamie Turner for her help in decorating.

Sarah's Mimi and Aunt Shannon, who were unable to attend her party, took her on a special outing to Build- A-Bear on Sunday, August 10. Sarah had a ball creating her own stuffed animal and picking out all its purple and pink outfits. Sarah would like to thank them for such a fun day. She is richly blessed to have such wonderful family and friends!
