Ellie's birthday party

Ellie has been wanting a fairy party for a few months now. I remember over the summer my friend Anabel doing a fairy party for her little girl Brielle. It was adorable and I asked her for some tips and she gave me some great websites and ideas. Thanks Anabel. Once the girls got here they got to pick out their tutus and wings. Then we split up in two teams and went on a scavenger hunt around our street. I had talked to neighbors ahead of time and had Emilie give out small butterflies, Mikayla gave out paintbrushes, Melanee gave out the fairy houses, Kristin gave out moss (or pot as Allen called it), and Abbey and Keith put some bigger butterflies in their sandbox for the girls to choose their own. In order for the girls to get their prizes they had to give each house a password. I think the girls had a good time.

Ellie opted for a Rosetta fairy on the top of her cupcake rather then a candle.
Thanks neighbors.

Ellie was so cute with little Julia. Julia was an honorary fairy since she wasn't as old as the other girls.

I ordered cupcakes from Walmart. They were suppose to be fairy rings on the top, but Allen and the kids came home with Princesses instead. The girls didn't seem to care or notice.

Where the girls turned into fairies...it's really the bathroom. My plan was to have a big party in the backyard with tulle and flowers everywhere, but this week the weather has been rainy on and off, so I played it safe and stayed inside. We had a fun time and we had most of the girls come. Happy birthday again to our little fireball.
