Laura's 12 Dancing Princesses Party

Saturday was the big day that Laura had been thinking about for months, her Barbie 12 Dancing Princesses Party. I'm not sure if it's my mistake giving them the option of choosing their own birthday themes, both girls have managed to pick movies so out of date that I've had to hit E-bay to get party supplies. And while I'm on that topic, who has the money and time to horde children's party supplies in hopes that some desperate mom(like me) comes along and just has to have that last Barbie Poster. I'm not complaining, and am very glad that someone does it, I just think it's a little odd. So with the help of my Internet searching knowledge, we had a 12 Dancing Princess Party!

Here are the girls arriving at the house, my parents had whisked them away for a few hours so Joe and I could finish decorating. They went straight for the chocolate chip cookies, they are my girls after all.

Laura got to open a present before the party from her Aunt Janet and family. The Thumbelina doll and movie were a huge hit!

We had a beautiful day and the kids had free run of the backyard.

Laura said she had a great day and loved her party. She's already got the next couple of years planned, first a Nemo party and then a Barbie Princess and the Pauper Party. I guess I better get my E-bay searches ready!

That's funny Pam, I hadn't even noticed it. That's quite the combination.

Thanks for inviting us to the party! Kennedy loved it, and she has been on a sugar buzz since!!! We had a great time with the 3-D chalk too! Thanks for sharing the pictures. Laura is such a lucky girl to have SO many birthday parties!! If you want, you can check our blog too. I haven't gotten around to posting the pictures I took at dance the other week, but I might have some of Laura too.
