(the Princess Emma sign in the background was handpainted by my sweet & talented friend Kristi..she is awesome and can do anything..let me know if you are interested!! She is great at canvas work, wall art, frames, really anything artsy!!)There were lots of squeals and smiles from the birthday girl today! She woke up early this morning when Daddy had to head to a run, so I put her in bed with me..we turned on Noggin tv and it was all about Birthdays..they even sang Happy Birthday to her (or so she thought) and asked her blow out the candles (which she did). She kept saying, "this is for my birthday!" It was really cute to see how special she felt!
Some of the things we had or did at the party were: a borrowed bounce house, Silly String (which was a big hit with the dads and kids), a Pinata - Emma really was into hitting it!!
The kids decorated crowns, wands & swords with paint, stickers, bangles, & feathers.
We ate way too much candy..
but we had M&Ms, gummy bears, pretzel wands, cheese and PB&J sandwiches in the shape of a crown, fruit, goldfish, cupcakes & icecream (all week Emma wanted chocolate icecream, then today when I asked she insisted "Vanilla"! What?? but whatever the princess wants the princess gets, right?!) 
She loved opening her gifts and really loved her Princess camera from cousin Maddie..she hasn't put it down. 
As party favors, we handed out Bubble Wands and gift bags with ring pops, diamond rings, bracelets, lipgloss, comb & mirrors, frogs and balls.
It was a great day and we really appreciate everyone coming and making her feel so special and loved! We will be extending the celebration this week for her actual birthday on Wednesday, a special snack at her school on Tuesday and a party in CS next week! 
Daniel and I (and my parents) got the girls a swing set that should be in next week, so we are really excited to have swings and slides in our own backyard just in time for Spring!!
