Ella's Cinderella Birthday Party!

We had a Cinderella Birthday Party for our little princess on Saturday, January 8th. It was absolutely wonderful and Ella enjoyed it so much. Cinderella, herself, came for an hour and did all kinds of fun things with the girls. I was so impressed with Cinderella, she was amazing!

 Getting dressed for the party

Princess Ella 

 I made Cinderella cupcakes (chocolate cake, vanilla frosting colored pink, blue sugar sprinkles, and these little Cinderella figurines for the six party quests)

The rest of the cupcakes without Cinderella figurines - I love my mechanical pastry bag. :-)

The party table 

You can't see it very well in the photo, but there's a little "glass slipper" with pink and blue jelly beans inside. 

More of the decorations in the living room 

Princess Audrey and Princess Shannon arrive

 Magic tricks!



Petting Gus, the mouse :-) 

 Singing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star



 These were special bubbles that you can catch and hold.

Make-up! 

All sparkly 

Tea Party! 

Cinderella, pulling wishes from the tea cups 

 Mmmm! Pink Lemonade "tea"

Cinderella found a lot of bunnies on Ella. She pulled some out of her ears, then Ella told her there was one in her necklace and some in her sleeves. :-) 

Cinderella is also an excellent balloon twister! She made Ella an Ariel (aka Princess Mermaid) balloon.

Saying goodbye to Cinderella 





 Just missing Shannon in this photo, she didn't want to sit down with the group. :-) The Princesses from left to right are Malia, Audrey, Luana, Ella, and Emerson.

 Cupcake time!

It was so fun to put together and then experience! Ella had the time of her life and so did I. :-)

I didn't know Gramma was going to be there--what a special treat!

Yes, we were so glad Gramma got to come for the momentous occasion and she was, of course, extremely helpful!
