The Big Soiree!

(***Warning: There is no way around it, this will be a VERY long post. I sort of went all Paparazzi on these girls and took 160 pictures in 2 hours...you've been warned!***)

Halle's birthday party was so much fun. Her favorite book is Fancy Nancy so we decided it would be fun to have a Fancy Nancy party with a few of her friends. She invited 5 friends...Kyra, Adrie, Sadie, Bailee & Allie.

the invitation...

Tucker's mom always makes the birthday cakes for all the grandkids. She does such a great job and it's one less thing that I have to worry about. It's always so fun to see what she comes up with. This year she made a fancy hat cake.

We had all the girls come in their favorite fancy outfit. This is what Halle chose to wear...

They colored Fancy Nancy pictures while we waited for everyone to get there...

Then we sang Happy Birthday to Halle and ate cake and ice cream and drank pink punch!

My sister came to join in on all the fancy fun!

Aidan enjoyed the cake and ice cream!

After they finished their cake and ice cream, we got super fancy with necklaces, feather boas, rings, & tiaras!

Once they were all sufficiently fancy, they all gathered around for Halle to open her presents. Halle is lucky to have such great friends who know exactly what she loves.

Kyra & Adrie gave her this really cute puppy that knows your name and really grows and a super cute book, Ellie.

Allie gave her a ballerina barbie with an additional outfit to go with it. You can never have too many barbies.

Bailee gave her a WAY cute Belle doll, she LOVES Belle.

Sadie gave her a Fancy Fairy costume with wings, wand, tiara and anklets and it plays music. How fun. Thanks, Mary! :)
After opening presents we loaded the girls in the car and headed to our destination, the "parlor" (as Halle referred to it). For the next hour, the girls were pampered with fancy up-do's, make-up, & manicures. (I promise I tried to narrow down the pictures, but they were too cute!)

They each had their own hair stylist/make-up artist so that they all got done at the same time!

Halle's fancy up-do! You can't really see it in this picture, but they each got to chose a color of glitter for their hair. Halle, of course, chose purple to match her dress.

Getting Make-up & nails done!

I love this picture of Adrie...how cute is that little face!

Looking Lovely...

Even Avery joined the girls at the salon.

So cute...

I could use a little fanciness!

The girls went back to our house after and danced around and played for a little bit until it was time to go home. It was such a fun party and by far the easiest party I've done. The best part about it was after everyone had gone home, Halle came and gave me a big hug and said "Thanks for making my birthday so special, Mom!" It was all worth it!
