Y'know what!?: Sylvie's 3rd Birthday Party

We said that it was a dress up party because having a princess party seemed a little common but in actuality - it was a princess party. Sylvie must have gotten 6 tiaras for her birthday but the kicker was the Cinderella ball gown complete with a hoop skirt and "glass" slippers. She even wore the earrings which freaked me out. She started humming "So this is love, hm hm hm hm"

For me it was all about the cake which was one of those germs of an idea that turned into the discovery of a whole new creative outlet for me. Cake decorating is a blast, dare I say. I was jumping up and down upon the application of the three on the skirt. Sylvie's eyes lit up and it was SO worth the 4 cakes that it took to create this. I started humming "I can paint with all the colors of the wind"

A few of my favorite moments:

Zoe and Sylvie dancing after everyone left to "I know you I walked with you once upon a dream"

Ethan (Sylvie's cousin) announcing "look, I opened this present for Sylvie!"

The candles blowing out in the wind three times before Sylvie was able to blow them out.
Kris and Gracie's fairy princess outfits.

All the princesses putting their fingers in the cake.

Evan (another cousin) asking "Where is the bag of trinkets?" (there wasn't one)

Everyone loves sausages, hot dogs and tim's cascade chips

Sylvie's huge grin as she went to bed knowing that she is a princess and now she is three.

She is humming "A whole new world"
