A Very Merry UnBirthday, To Me!

Sydney's birthday is actually next week, but since next week is Spring Break, I decided to have her party early so most of her friends could come.  I'm glad I did.  She had a wonderful ballerina party for her 4th birthday.  11 little girls came over to the house and we set up the basement so they could twirl and dance til their hearts content.  I hired a real ballerina, Ms. Callie, to come and dance with the girls.  She was fabulous!  She showed them how to put on ballet shoes and she even put up their hair like a ballerina would wear it.



Even Grandma Sara, Brian's mom, got into it.  She was helping the girls touch their toes.  She is one flexible grandma if I do say so myself.


                            

After all that twirling and spinning the girls were hungry and thirsty.  It was time for cupcakes and juiceboxes.

I ordered the banner you see in the picture above off Etsy from 62 cards. I got it in her bedroom colors so I can hang it over her bed after the party. Isn't it adorable? Sammye Jo was great to work with too and I love her blog.  I love Etsy.  So many creative women and I love supporting SAHM's and small businesses.

I made the cupcakes myself and ordered a PDF online to make the toppers.  I bought them off Etsy too from Party on Boutique.  Dawn was awesome to work with.  She was so helpful in giving me tips on how to make the toppers.  Thanks Dawn.  They turned out great and they were so easy to make.  I will do this again for sure.

Last but not least, we ended the afternoon with the presents.  The girls all crowded around Sydney as she opened up her presents. 

The girls each got a gift bag personalized with their initial on it.  I really wanted to make something that the girls could keep and play with.  Inside was a bracelet, necklace, ring and lipgloss.  Perfect for every princess.

It was a wonderful time and I want to thank all of Sydney's friends and family for coming to her party and making her day so special.
