We planned Charlotte's party for the Saturday after her birthday. I worked all week prepping because Tommy had a soccer game that morning.
I broke out the Cricut, of course! I sent this picture to Andrew and told him I wasn't cleaning it up. I did though. I really thought about just leaving it.
Glitter paper makes all the difference!
I made tiaras and crowns for all the guests to wear.
I made tissue paper pom poms for the first time. You should have seen my janky first attempt. They got much better after the first try.
I made a banner with her name. Boy, does her name have a lot of letters.
Of course I made my usual instagram banner. Meijer even cuts them into 4x4's instead of 4x6's. Nice! For a small fee of course.
I made a princess cake dress from ideas on pinterest. It is supposed to be Aurora's dress from Sleeping Beauty. It turned out pretty cute.
I also made a Hulk cake since she loves the Hulk and I wanted to have a cake Tommy could it. The Hulk cake was a cake made with pop (no eggs or milk) so he could eat it. It was on the verge of falling apart and I ran out of icing but hey, it was still a success!
I was inspired by this on Pinterest. When I stood back and looked at it, my first thought was Pinterest Fail. Or Green Princess Leia. But I still liked it.
Charlotte looked adorable in her dress from Zulily with her name and age. Another cute Zulily find! ;-) Charlotte wore her crown for part of the day. Since it was huge, she didn't wear it long. Very cute little birthday cake on her head though.
It was time to blow out the candles. Charlotte was a little afraid after all the singing by all the Royal Family. But she did a great job blowing them out.
Look at that joy! She is having a ball! Princess and Hulk cake, YUM!
Brother showed some love with cheek kisses for her b-day.
Then he went back to his tough guy scowl. :)
When Charlotte started jumping on the presents, we knew it was time to open them. :)
She loved each and every one of her gifts. She was so excited for each one of them. I had planned to go over how to say thank you for all her gifts and I forgot. But she showed so much excitement for all of her gifts, it didn't matter!
She got so many fun gifts!
Check out that Elsa dress!! Aurora too! She is ready to play dress up for a long time!
Tommy even enjoyed her gifts. Flags to go with the scooters?? Are you kidding me? Tommy's favorite!
I don't think the fellas on the couch knew what to think of all this princess stuff. I tell ya... Before I had a daughter, the idea of a princess party sickened me. But look at me now! Princess stuff is so fun! Pink is an awesome color! Haters gonna hate! Haha! :)
After presents it was time to play outside! AGAIN, Uncle Awam!!
It was time for scooter-ing!
Everyone tried it!
Yep, I made absolutely everyone wear a crown.
Except for Charlotte. But how great is this picture of Princess Charlotte and her royal court?
The dress fit like a glove. So adorable!
Tommy enjoyed looking out the toy room window and making faces.
Charlotte enjoyed looking out over her royal people while sipping on a juice box. :)
The party somehow came together and was a huge success. Except for that whole running out of food thing. But ordering pizzas after the party lasts 6 hours? I think that's okay.
Happy Birthday, Miss Charlotte! Hope you had as much fun as we did!
