Princess Makayla's 3rd Birthday Party

It's the big day for Makayla, her Princess birthday party is finally here!  She's been looking forward to this day for a long time.  She's had her favorite Princess Aurora dress, wand and tiara all ready!  Auntie Janai was here and made her hair all fancy too!  I so could not have done that at all.  Thank goodness for her!  We had the party at our clubhouse.  We're expecting about 25 little ones and their parents so should be a full house.  It's going to be super simple with pizza & chicken nuggets since that's Makayla's favorite.  The Grandparents recommended some sandwiches for the parents so we ordered those in addition and I made a Chinese chicken salad.  All turned out great and was easy!  Everyone thing was just fine and calm until the guests started to arrive.  It got real crazy real quick but was so much fun!  All the little girls were so cute since they all pretty much dressed up in their favorite Princess dress as well.  There's lots of pictures since I couldn't resist them all!
The yummy birthday cake from Kings Hawaiian!  Thanks to Uncle Alan and Auntie Som for picking up the paradise delight cake!  It's so cute too!

Once the girls arrived they started at the little craft table to make their own tiara's and wands.  They got to decorate them with sparkly glue, glitter and fun Princess foam shapes.  They all had so much fun crafting away!  The boys make crowns.

One of the big surprises was this amazing balloon dude!  His name is Nolan and he is seriously unbelievable to watch!  He makes the coolest balloon creations in a matter of seconds!  His specialty is Disney so it was perfect!  He kept the kids and the parents pretty entertained for a little bit over an hour that he was here for.  He was a great referral from a friend!  Thanks!

Here's Makayla, the 1st to get her balloon.  He made her Princess Aurora! Super special to match her pretty dress today!

Of course we can't forget little sis, Mylee.  She was dressed up as Princess Snow White and was a doll!  We had these neat wooden head cut outs of the princesses from a friend of ours that had a princess party before.  Her Daddy and Mommy were so generous as to let us borrow them. They were beautifully made and we had Snow White, Belle & Cinderella!  So perfect!

Rachee (Belle), Makayla (Aurora), & Alyssa (Jasmine) hanging out on the back patio because it was a nice day!

Can we go in the pool with our dresses on?  Not so much!  They all love swimming!  Let's wait until summertime when it warms up a little bit girls!

Oh Wow!  This is a giant surprise for our little Princess, we got Princess Aurora to come visit Makayla and all her friends!  She was fantastic and so cute!  She painted all the kids faces and much, much more.  She arrived right as the balloon dude was leaving so it was perfect timing to keep everything going.

Is it cake time yet?  Princess Aurora even helped us cut the cake and get the kids together.  I didn't expect her to do that at all.

Little Aidan was the big bad dragon out  to get the Princesses.  Auntie Bonnie is just so silly!  Mylee, don't get too close!

After cake, the kids all gathered around Aurora for story time.  

Then they all danced.  Makayla is having a fantastic time and just so happy!

Is it now parachute time too.  Aurora did so much with the kids and they all had so much fun!  I'm sure they're going to be tired after this party!  A lot of action all morning!  Well, that wraps it up for Makayla's 3rd Princess Birthday party!  Hope you had a great birthday to my little princess!   Thanks to everyone for joining us to celebrate!

Princess Makayla's 3rd Birthday Party was stunning. Everything truly came out together wonderfully. The birthday parties for kids are truly special and this is why one should always plan to make their day enjoyable. For our son we threw an adventure themed bash at one of the local rental spaces for parties.
