Thank you, thank you, thank you to all the little "princesses" that came to Maddie's party. She loved having all of her friends there and reminds me every day how fun her party was.
First we started off taking pictures of all the princesses decked out in their gowns and Miss M gave each friend a wand and a [pretty] purple necklace. We let Maddie open up one present the morning of her party (even though her actual b-day is Sept 9th) and it was a Belle dress with pretty Belle shoes. She was ecstatic to put it mildly. She started screaming with excitement and kept saying "oh thank you, thank you." She had her new dress on within minutes and wore it the entire day. Thank you Disney, for making my four-year olds dream come true. :)

Makenna & MaddieAfter pictures and a few games of {Duck, Duck, Goose}, it was time to decorate tiara's and get their finger/toenails all painted. We split up the girls into two groups. I had LOTS of help at the party including: my mom,, mother-in-law, and three sister-in-laws: Jo, Esther & Abby that all joined in and helped with nail painting, crafting, baby watching {Eli}, toddler chasing {Robby} and general crowd control.
Maddie even snagged my lipstick and put in on herself and a few friends so they could all look "fancy" for the party.
My sister Lori insists that her daughter Kaylin doesn't like getting her nails painted...I beg to differ; she LOVED the way they looked and kept showing them off like a little rock-star!
This was my first attempt to make a giant cupcake cake and I have to say that it turned out rather well and the cake must have tasted good because it was completely gone before nightfall. I think next time I won't frost the lower half of the cake however
Four candles for my four year old girl
After tiara's were all complete, we HAD to take a picture of the finished product. I have to admit, these girls were pretty much the cutest things I had ever seen. They were made up of preschool friends, playgroup friends, and a cousin. Maddie sure loves having so many fun friends to play with in our neighborhood.

After pictures we played a fun game of pin the tiara on the princess and everyone picked out a lollipop after their turn. This was followed by good old present time. Lastly we sang happy birthday to Miss M and handed out cake and ice cream to eat on the kitchen floor. The girls ran around afterwards until parents arrived to pick them up. Maddie loved helping me put together goody bags before the party and handed them out to each girl as they left. 
What a fun busy day it was. I have to admit it was quite the relief once every child left and I could clean up the house. It is always fun to have a birthday party, but also nice to be able to check it off the to do list and move on with life! Now on to California, Disneyland, and the beach next week for her actual birthday!
