The Theme for her party was Fairy Princess Picnic and it was so much fun to decorate and help Lilly host.
Here is a picture of some of the decorations, I made the paper lanterns and strung them along our entry way to the dinning room. Mike and I hung the streamers and taped silk flowers on them to make the room feel like a garden, a fairy princess garden that is!
It was an all girl party, I bought these cute pink pixie wings online and some plastic gems and used sticky dots to make them into gem stickers, the girls then had at it with the wings and gems decorating their very own fairy wings to wear and take home. I think they really loved the wings, because most of the girls wore their wings the entire party.
We found these adorable cupcake papers at the party store and made funfettie cupcakes with pink frosting and candy flowers on top. They were a hit!
I thought that the girls would want to sit on the floor to eat cupcakes, but they all sat so nicely around the table. I think they wanted to stay close to the cupcakes and punch bowl. We also bought little fairy sized plastic cups for the party too. (they really are shot glasses) :)
The grand finale of the party was cotton candy! What fairy princess doesn't like pink homemade cotton candy :) I think that each of the girls had two servings of cotton candy.
I am so glad that all of these adorable fairy princesses could come party like princesses with us!
This year Lilly started Ballet and loves it! She loves twirling and dancing and learning all of the names of the dance moves. She is learning so much at her ballet school and I can't wait to see her perform this year in Sleeping Beauty in June.
Lilly has grown so much this year, she has gained 6 pounds and is finally 36lbs! She is 42.5 inches tall, so she's grown almost 4 inches this year! Lilly is in her 2nd year of pre-school and is doing so well. She got a set of scooby doo readers for Christmas and has already read 6 of them. She can count to 100, count backwards, add and subtract simple math equations, write all of her letters and has started taking an interest in writing her own stories. Lilly still loves to sing and is always singing her own songs. She has an amazing memory and can recall things that happened that I don't even remember until she tells me about it. Lilly has a silly side and she loves to tickle and wrestle. She is a very affectionate girl and loves to hug and kiss.
Lilly got a cotton candy maker for her birthday! She also got the books pinkalicious, purplicious and goldilicious and a set of domino's from Mike, Emma and I.
Lilly got to have a slumber party with two of her cousins last night and we are going to go see the movie Tangled today with them. Lilly is also having her very first friend party next weekend, I'm excited for that! She is having a fairy Princess picnic :) and of course we will be making cotton candy for it :)
