A Princess Birthday - One Week Later

I'm finally getting around to posting from Skyla's actual 4th birthday, which was last Saturday, more than a week ago! It's been a crazy week with family visiting and playing catch-up... but now I am taking time to LOOK at the pictures from her birthday and party and am so happy we did a party for her litle princess friends. They're so cute and made her first themed "friends" party so much fun for her. It's amazing how magical a few decorations from Party City and a princess dress can be for a 4-year old! :-) We had Grammy (my mom), Aunt Susan & Uncle Ryan, Aunt Erin, Gramma & Grampa, Uncle Chesty & Conlin, and six of her little friends with their families - and we kept things simple with pizza & cake. But it was so special for her and so much fun to watch the little girls together. Here are a bunch of pictures to give a snapshot of her whole day:


The "big" birthday gift from the whole family - her dollhouse, which she has since spent hours playing with every day, incorporating her princess dolls and other toys into the mix. Her room is like a fairy tale of make-believe!

The doll princess Chatham, the bride princess Elena, and the "Belle" princess Skyla

The three cousins - Brody, Skyla & Conlin.

The princess table - Elena, Skyla & Ella

All the little princesses: Ava, Elena, Skyla, Ella, Olivia, Addie and Callie


The cake - the one thing at the party that was NOT a princess theme!


No party would be complete without ring around the rosie


Lots of presents!

Takes a lot of concentration!

Brody wanted in on the action

Happy Birthday to you!

Brody was so helpful with the birthday candles! He has been practicing...

We can't believe she is four years old already. Wow!

This is how Brody spent most of the weekend - curled up on the couch reading books with his "Sammy"

Chrissy & Kevin, you guys did great job with this fairy dust, magical, princess party. Elena wore her tiara the whole weekend. We're so blessed that our girls are growing up together. Hugs and kisses to "Belle"! and a big thanks for letting us share such a special day.
