Our little Natalie turned ONE and Samantha turned THREE in January! We had a princess party for our families and Sammi and Natalie's friends!
Cinderella, Ariel, Jasmine, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty all joined us... they were everywhere! :)
Preparation the night prior... our girls were in Fort Wayne with their grandparents while we worked on the party until about 2am!
Mixing chocolate cake batter for one layer and white for two layers...
Party favors...
Lots of balloons, streamers, noise makers, lipstick candy, candy necklaces, candy fingernail polish, confetti that spelled out the girls' names, princess confetti, and lots of pink filled the camera room of our studio and waiting area where we had the party!
We promised a special surprise for the kids... which was this huge princess bounce house for them to play in! Really shows how high our ceilings are!
We had pizza, of course, a favorite of both girls. :) We also had chocolate-covered caramel pretzels, pink M&Ms, fruit & veggie trays, and chips & dip.
The kids all enjoyed lots of time in the bounce house! Natalie wasn't so sure at first but she liked being in it with an adult to keep her from falling over!
The famous three-layer cake I dreamed about... and we actually did it! With the help & advice of Dan's parents and their cake & candy business, we pulled it off! YAY! (The right tools make a big difference!)
First cake!!!! Natalie got the top tier of our three-layer cake! She enjoyed playing in it much more than eating it, which is good by me!!!
A little bath in the sink before going out to play again! :)
We got so many, many presents... thank you so much to everyone. It was really unnecessary but very much appreciated!
After the guests left, the four of us played and played in the bounce house before they came to tear it down!
Natalie actually fell asleep half way through the party on her Grandpa Sherman!!! (I like to leave the photo last though because it summarizes how we all felt after the party!) In a GOOD way!!! :)
Happy, happy, happy birthday to our two beautiful, strong, smart, funny, sensitive, thoughtful girls!!!! We love you more than we could ever have imagined it would feel to be your parents! We are forever grateful to be given the opportunity to have you as our daughters.
We love you!
