Kinsey's 4th Birthday!

I cannot believe I have a 4 year old. F O U R. wow.

I know it is cliche to say it, but man, time really does fly!

 I won't get all sappy on you (not right now at least) but instead 

share the details of the party I put together for my little princess!

 Enjoy. 

First time using hot rollers...

Dessert Table with Crown Canopy (tutorial to come)

Outside Decorations:

Tablecloths and runners from our wedding 8 years ago

placed in a mason jar or vase with tulle and tied up with a ribbon

Inside Decorations:

Front Door Sign- Foam Board painted with DIY chalkboard paint, then colored on with a paint marker

Birthday Banner over fireplace

"kiss the frog" game

As a party activity and party favor in one we did a crown decoration station

Crowns from Oriental Trading here and here

Additional stick on jewels here (no glue involved at all= no messy hands!)

The Princes also took home swords and the Princesses got jewels (necklaces and rings) and wands

Cake Time!

Playing in the Castle, opening presents, and Pretty Princesses all together

I think the party was a hit!

 Kinsey on Saturday night: "Mom, remember my party?" Me: "yes, it was today, I haven't forgotten" Kinsey: "Thank you mommy for the decorations, they were sooooooo pretty!"

Success!

 Although on Monday she was already trying to get me to start planning her next event....
