Avery's Princess Party

So, yesterday was Avery's birthday. She turned 3 years old. We had a Princess Ball for her, per her request. She is so into PINK and PRINCESS these days! It was alot of fun. We invited her preschool group of kids and everyone came. Avery dressed-up as Cinderella and all the kids came in their dress-ups too! They made crowns and magic wands, well they ate their magic wands (rice crispy treats). We danced and played games and won prizes. It was all fun and gamed until it was time for the PRESENTS!! AHHHH! No one warned me about the present chaos! It was insane as kids opened presents and climbed all over Avery. She started kicking and screaming...oh my goodness! So we quickly moved on to the cake and it was a perfect distraction. The last 15 minutes of the party was a breeze. It really was a fun day. Avery got a princess bike, well a trike, that she LOVES! After the kids naps we went to see "Horton Hears a Who". It was a fun day for Avs and that is enough.

Okay, but the day before her birthday, my sister Auburn and I made her a cake...okay 2 cakes. It was insane. We made a Princess cake and a Castle cake. I completely underestimated the time it would take. Avery and I bake the 4 cakes during the day and at 5pm Auburn and started the decorating, we didn't FINISH until 10pm! As I was thinking, "is this really worth it", Avery came into the kitchen and proclaimed in the sweetest voice, "Mom, Thank You so much for my castle cake!" She was over joyed and yep! That sure made it worth every minute of it! Enjoy the pictures...
