Happy 4th Birthday, Mallory!

Every year for the past few years, we've had big birthday parties for Mason. This year, Christian said we had to do something big for Mallory's party. I agreed, so we asked Mallory what she wanted. Her answer was to go to the "jumpy place". (This is our gymnastics studio.) When I checked, however, they were having a competition on May 16th, so we couldn't have a party. So I asked her again and she opted for a princess party at the house. So I got together with my mom for ideas, invited all of Mallory's girlfriends from school, and this is what we got:

My princess opening her gifts!

Everyone enjoying their meal

The Princesses of the party!

Mallory after her complete make-over

Ava, Reese and Ms. Emily making flip-flops

So cute in my birthday suit!

Each princess and prince had a seated place at the table

Props to my mom for making the flower centerpieces - beautiful!

The party was great! Everyone had a great time and Mallory got just what she wanted. Thanks again to my mom for making the flower arrangements, gift bag tags and place cards, and for all her help. Thank you, Nanny, for cutting all the strips of fabric for the flip-flops. Thanks to Christian for missing a game of golf with his buddies, so he could help me set up and move all the furniture. Thanks Dad for the two trips to the grocery store. Thanks to my friends for helping with the finger nail polish, hair-dos and flip-flops! I couldn't do it without you!
