I made some sushi for the party . . . (Rice Krispies, red licorice, fruit roll-ups).
We were going to have the party elsewhere, but I left the planning a bit late (cruise, etc) and the place I wanted was not available, so we had it at home in our construction zone!
There were crafts, and games like Musical Chairs and "stick the jewel on the crown" (a modern, girly version of Pin the Tail on the Donkey). . .
A Prince & Princess cutout photo-op (hand made by my friend Helen for her daughter's 5th birthday a few years ago!).
Mehr and Sienna . . .
Sienna & Anna . . .
Simon & Isabelle . . .
This year Holly asked for a Strawberry Shortcake birthday cake. She got a very simple, not too fancy cake!
A happy Princess - she asked the girls to come in pretty princess dresses, as a Princess or Fairy, and the boys to dress as superheroes (eg Spiderman) or a Prince.
Pink flower cupcakes - fit for a Princess!
After the party, Holly watched Kayli do some pretty amazing tricks with her hula hoop - so she decided to try it out, too!

A very pretty dress from Elle-Ee and Uncle Paolo!
Beautiful Fairy wings and matching wand from Auntie Marlene & Uncle Laci (with a borrowed tiara from Auntie Helen!).
