Birthday Party

We had Emily's birthday party on Saturday.  It was our first birthday where she invited several of her friends.  Emily decided she wanted to have a Belle birthday cake this year.  Here is the cake my friend Tara made for her.  Tara has made all of Emily's cakes for me.  Once again she did a FABULOUS job!

Emily told me she wanted a dress to wear for her party so I made her a Belle princess dress:

 

The girls made a princess wand and the boys made a tiger:

 When they finished their craft they could get a tattoo . . . 

Place the princess in her castle:

 and get their face painted:

As you can see we put my brother and sister to work at the party : )  When everyone was done we sang Happy Birthday to Emily and enjoyed some cake!

 

Emily was a sweetie and helped me pass the cake plates out to her friends:

Opening gifts was a hoot!  I've never seen kids get that close to the unwrapping.  They were hilarious!

 We had a great time and Emily loved her party!  The rest of the weekend my sister and her children hung out with us.  The kids played well together and had a good time.  Here they are painting Saturday night. 

I can't believe our baby girl will be 4 tomorrow!!!  Happy Birthday sweet Emily.  We love you!
