Birthday Bash -- Round 2

What do you get when you take five preschoolers, princess attire, pizza, presents, and a whole lot of sugar (well, just cake and ice cream)? Insanity. Okay, it really wasn't that crazy. Ellie celebrated her 4th birthday (again!) on Saturday with her friends Stella, Aubrey, Brielle, and Mariana.
And of course, Alex and Maguire and Mariana's little brother, Phinley, who were all corralled in the living room during the girly festivities. For some reason, their dads didn't like our idea of dressing them up like little princes for the party. Strange.


Here's Ellie, all dolled up as Sleeping Beauty and waiting for her friends to arrive. Why is she not dressed as her beloved Ariel, you wonder? Well, due to the multiple birthday parties, our birthday budget called for making do with what was in the dress-up drawer. So Sleeping Beauty she was!

The girls had fun making their own crowns, but no one wanted to wear their creations since they all came to the party with princess crowns and pretties already!

No Ellie party would be complete without Ariel making an appearance. And since Mommy certainly wasn't about to put on a shell bikini and a red wig and sing "Happy Birthday," Ariel came on a cake.

The birthday girl -- how can she be four?!







Presents!

We had such a fun time celebrating Ellie's special day with all of her friends. Here she is blowing out her candles. Wishing for another party, too, I'm sure!

Happy Bithday Miss Ellie! 4 yrs old, I remember seeing you for the first time when you were only 4 weeks old, such a little peanut then and now such a beautiful princess! Abram sang Happy Birthday to Ellie with the video, so pass it on he wishes her a belated birthday wish! Love you guys!

You made a memory with the princess party -- very cute to have them all dress in their princess finest!

Wondered if you got snow -- guess so!

Looks like it was a great party!! Where does the time go? All of the princesses are adorable, especially Little Miss Ellie...and thankfully the boys were saved from being bejeweled with the girls...GO DADS.
And the backdrop of several of those shots--SNOW, mass amounts of SNOW. That was a bit of a shock, I never see that anymore.
Happy Birthday Ellie:)
