June 1oth Ladi Elizabeth's 6th Birthday!

This was Ladi's first big birthday bash- 10 little girls- dressed in princess outfits- 1 Cinderella from Disney World- crafts- sweets- and LOTS of glitter!!!! I must admit I had been planning this event for many years! And I think it was wonderful! Ladi Elizabeth loved every minute of her party! As my mother says, "Ladi Elizabeth can sniff out princess!" She is so into all of that kind of stuff; so of course this was a total princess party. The girls were so excited to all be together and even more excited about the arrival of the special guest- Cinderella! So when Cinderella arrived I thought that the girls would "bombard" her and want to ask her so many questions- But when she came into the living room all the girls became silent. No one would speak- they just sat there in awe!!! I became worried at that point because Cinderella was going to be there for an entire hour!!! But Cinderella being a Princess and all she knew exactly how to handle little "star struck" girls. (after the party I told Cinderella that I was a bit concerned in the beginning- and she said that was how all little girls act when they first see her!) She started slow by reading them a princess book and then she helped them decorate tiara cookies and by the time they were eating lunch the girls could barely eat because they were all talking to her! Ladi Elizabeth was sitting in her lap by the time cake was served! Then Ladi asked Cinderella to see her room- this was precious! Ladi said, "Hey I have some books about you- see there you are right there!" They were asking so many questions about being a princess and living in the castle and the prince home by himself and how she survived living with the wicked stepmother and many more! Cinderella was having such a great time that she stayed longer than we anticipated! But she had to stay to help Ladi open her birthday gifts! After the party Ladi Elizabeth kept thanking Steven and I for her birthday party! I don't think she will ever forget it- I know I will not!! Oh and the glitter- well it will serve as a reminder- it was all over our house- in furniture- on carpets- in dinning room chairs- and in the cracks between the hard wood floors! I love it! Joys of having a little girl in the house!
