Well, more than a month later I am finally taking the time to document all of Hadley's Birthday celebrations. We started the birthday morning with our tradition of balloons and streamers covering the door! She and Brynlee both came out screaming and laughing about the decorations. I wish I had gotten a picture of them walking out...but truth be told...we were sleeping! (until we heard the squeals)!
Birthday Pancake!
Showing off her Ariel fashion loot from Grandpa and Barb. (please ignore the boxes and crazily half painted rooms in the pictures to follow...note we had only been in the house a week before this birthday...ok at least I feel better having said that).
The night of her actual birthday we celebrated with an ice cream cake from Brusters, which was incredible...if you have not tried one you are missing out! We had some of our small group over that night to help us move all of the furniture from downstairs back upstairs and they celebrated with us! (and yes I began to cut the cake and then realized I had not take a picture)
No onto the...FAIRY PARTY
Hadley had mentioned wanting a fairy party way back in the Spring...so I had begun preparing, and trying to keep things organized with the move...I ordered the invitations a full month before the party...well considering all of our moving craziness...it may have been a better idea for me not to plan ahead. Oh well, luckily 4 year olds don't care if your house is in order or not!
Hadley helped me pick the decorations for the party which included lots of yard butterfly decor...which the girls refuse to let me take down!
Fairy house painting...lots of paint, glitter, feathers, clip on butterflies and everything else you can imagine
The Fairy playhouse...we did not quite finish painting it before the party...but came close.
Fairy fun...yes Reese is wearing her leotard...it has butterflies on it so she thought it was great...a battle I chose not to fight that day!
Our beautiful Fairy Princess Hadley in her favorite color
Reese was a great helper to the little ones
The trampoline looked more like a fairy filled bounce house...but they all had fun!
The Butterfly piñata
The candy craze as the pinata broke
Fairy Nectar (aka lemonade)
Pretty much my favorite part...Hadley saw this cake in a little mini version at Publix one day and had to have it...I LOVE IT! I love Publix cakes...they pretty much have done all of my girls birthdays and never disappoint!
Blowing out her candles
The "big girls" Reese and Addie Gail hanging out in the "cool kids" area
Maggie and Hadley enjoying the cake!
Little Miss here...didn't miss a beat...or a bite of cake, she didn't even want to share with mommy!!! (and no that is not her bottle, but yes she did try to drink it)
Fairy wand fruit kabobs, a big hit, so easy and yummy!
Bebe love
Happy Birthday Hadley...you are our very Fairy Princess indeed!
