A party fit for a princess!

A couple of weeks ago Alexis had her fourth birthday. I can't believe my baby is four! Right now she is obsessed with Disney Princesses so naturally she wanted a Cinderella party. I had the girls dress up like their favorite princess and the boys like knights. They decorated crowns with jewels, played pass the glass slipper, and the "real" Cinderella graced the party with her presence. Alexis had a ball, no pun intended! I am surprised I survived it as I had 15 little princess and knights running wild around my house! But it was worth it to see the smile on my little princesses face. Unfortunately my husband was on picture and video duty- so we got more video than pictures- no pictures of the real Cinderella- total bummer!
The birthday girl opening presents in the morning-notice Tommy crying in the background because the presents were not for him!
The party decorations- I made those star wands out of rice crispy treats!

Alexis' very first real birthday cake- up until now she has been allergic to it! I don't know who was more excited for the birthday cake she or myself (I live for birthday cake!)
Happy Birthday Alexis!!
