Everyone came out in their finest to celebrate Evie's fifth birthday! The girls and Mommy had a great time decorating the house with beads, tulle, and all things fancy! Mommy was particularly proud of her chandelier decorations.
The girls show off their matching purple toenails while Auntie Mel and Amelia display their beautiful pedicures as well.
Look at those girls - have you ever seen anyone so fancy? The party began by Evie greeting people at the door with a "Bonjour!" Then she led them to the living room where everyone got accessorized up with a variety of bling: necklaces, bracelets, rings, boas, and body glitter.
Everyone got into making tissue paper corsages, including Amelia, Aunty Mel and Molly.
Bryn models her beautiful purple necklace.
Lia and Riya know how to accessorize.
After practicing our Explorer Extraordinaire skills by making sunprints, we even had some time to go outside and get our T-ball on. The girls watch patiently and wait for their turn as Mason hits a grounder. Later on, Evie was very impressed by Mason's wii skills, cheering him on through a game of frisbee golf.
Mommy reads "Fancy Nancy and the Mermaid Ballet" while the girls nibble on a variety of snacks. We had made sand-and-glitter filled bracelets to go with the mermaid theme of the book as well.
Evie demonstrates her own beautiful ballet moves like Nancy's weeping willow tree.
Daddy's cake creation this year was a pink teapot, as Fancy Nancy loves tea parties, of course. It was Daddy's first foray into fondant - not too bad.
Evie was extremely excited as Mommy rounds the corner with her cake and everyone sings Happy Birthday.
The teapot is ablaze with candles!
Evie takes a deep breath and gets ready to make a wish. What will she wish for? Maybe a new two-wheeler?
Someone enjoyed some chocolate macaroons! Such a sophisticated palate!
Evie digs into the top of the teapot cake. Strangely enough, she really liked the taste of the fondant.
Amelia and Evie share a big hug. I sense that this picture will become an annual tradition.
At the end of the night, Evie runs outside to check out her big present from Mom & Dad... looks like those are some wheels peeking out from the sheet...
She gets on her bike right away and takes off down the block after a push by Uncle Wally! What a great way to end the night. Thanks to everyone for celebrating with us!
