So, it's Monday morning, and I am still thinking about the awesome party that we threw for our 5-year-old on Saturday. I went into labor with her on Super Bowl Sunday, and her birthday this year was on Super Bowl Sunday. Since that was a bigger event for most of my family, we decided to have her party on Saturday instead.
I wanted all of my boys to be frogs and the girls to be princesses. So, we started off the party with t-shirt decorating. Everyone decorated their own green shirts (with help). While those were drying, we went on to decorate their frog visors and tiaras.
In the background, my sister, Jessica, was decorating Aaliyah's room with Princess and the Frog everything that she got from the movie theater. Can you believe that they throw the displays away? Anyway, and my Aunt Norma was on camera duty.
When we finished the shirts, visors, and tiaras, my smaller ones and the boys went to the play room. All of the princesses got their nails done and make-up.
Then, we had cake. And, since she is 5, her aunts said that she could cut her cake all by herself (ARGH!).
Then, we opened gifts. After the gifts, we went upstairs for Aaliyah to see her new room. She was so surprised.
I knew that she was happy because she has gone to her room numerous times since the birthday, and just stared around the room. Thanks so much Aunt Jessica for making this day great for her.
It was the bestest party ever. Whew, now time to prepare for the next one around the corner.
