Birthday Party

Ok, I have A LOT of pictures from this Princess birthday party Ava went to a couple of weeks ago, but it really was the cutest birthday party EVER! Here is Ava ready to party!
The first thing the kids did was a craft. Ava always enjoys crafts!
Her finished wand
then the girls all got their nails painted. Ava picked a pretty sparkly purple color.
She's looking so grown up these days!
waiting for her nails to dry
Then they were introduced to Rapunzel, who sang them the theme song from the movie, Tangled, which of course all these girls have seen!
Then Rapunzel took them back to the dressing room and each girl got to pick out a dress to wear for the party. (there were hundreds of dresses, and again, Ava chose a Purple one :)
Then they got to pick out some accessories to wear
Ava with two of her friends from preschool, Ari and Claira.
Then Rapunzel put some sparkles in their hair
And they each got to individually meet Rapunzel and talk to her for a few minutes.
Ava and the birthday girl, Hayden, picked the same dress :).
A group picture with Rapunzel
Rapunzel taught the girls how to spin and dance
how to wave (elbow, elbow, wrist, wrist, touch your heart, blow a kiss) :)
All the girls on stage listening to a story
I couldn't help but think she has a pretty FUN job!
Turns out she's a college girl who does this on the weekends. The girls were listening so intently to the story she read them
A few pictures of my princess
Big grin!
Admiring herself in the mirror
Rapunzel also introduced each girl individually and they got to come out and perform the dance skills, wave, and courtesy that she had taught them to the parents in the audience.
Ava all smiles during her performance
and after :)
Looking pretty cute while watching her friend Ari perform on stage
High School pose... elbow on the hip
They also played music and got to dance with Rapunzel
I kinda think Rapunzel really liked Ava :)
She is pretty darn cute!
Lunch time!
Hayden's mom was so nice to bring Ava her own food since she couldn't eat the scones and cookies that went with the tea.
And she made sure to order cupcakes that Ava could eat.
Then Hayden got to open her presents.
Ava got Hayden a jewelry box
Then it was time to say their good byes to Princess Rapunzel
and change back into their clothes...
and steal one last look in the mirror :) Thanks Hayden and family for such a wonderful birthday party, Ava had a fabulous time!
