Alex's 6th birthday party was on Saturday, February 19th. It was all girl and over the top pink, glittery, make-up fun! We invited a small handful of friends and decided to have the party at our home this year. GASP! I've avoided house parties for 6 years. With Disney around the corner, we decided to save some cash and have a little party at the house. DeDe came in town a bit early to help me prep for the day...and so that means that a "little house party" turned into a diva glam birthday jam :) Thanks DeDe!
All 7 girls showed up in their favorite princess outfits. We had a make-up station, nail polish station and a hair station. As a gift to Alex, our sitter (Miss Gabby) offered to do all of the girls hair. She did a fantastic job. The girls loved getting all dolled up and the mom's loved watching, taking pictures and helping!
After the girls got decked out, we had a brief but mostly unsuccessful attempt at Princess Karaoke. Of course, Alex had to entertain the crowd with one song. It was too funny. I know I've mentioned this a thousand times - but she really does have a great voice!
After the karaoke mishap (I am kidding - the girls were shy and I ended up on the mic), the girls made a craft and then ate cupcakes and danced. The mom's had a great time visiting and the girls were in heaven. I love how well the decorations turned out too. Carson and Daddy busted on the scene towards the end of the party which was too cute.
Honestly, it was just a fun, easy, laid back day. Ahh, I love those kinds of days. Our sweet YaYa had to work and was very missed (sniff, sniff). Alex and YaYa got to share a special day just to themselves though, so it's all good.
The memories made will last forever...at least for this proud Momma!
