Olivia's Fourth Birthday Party

Olivia wanted a princess party for her fourth birthday. She specifically asked for Cinderella, Belle, Rapunzel, Ariel, Snow White and princess Sofia. It was hard finding those specific princesses so we improvised. 


Dan took Olivia to publix, our favorite birthday cakes. They had 3 cakes on display, one wedding cake and a pink princess castle cake with Belle, Ariel, Rapunzel, and Cinderella. She HAD to have it! Figures we go to the grocery store and end up with a $50 two tier cake. But it made her day!


Matching carriage t-shirts - and Emma being Emma.


A floating Sofia balloon that was bigger than Olivia.


Shirley Temple and Moscow mule station. Along with kids champagne, parents champage, and wine. 


I typed "princess party" into Pinterest and let Olivia scroll through. She found this decorate your own crown station and spent time before the party setting it all up outside. 


She also found this confetti balloon pop. Each balloon is filled with confetti. And instead of a pinata where only one child busts it - each child gets to pop a balloon and have confetti fall. I wish we had a video of this one. It was a lot of work to put together, but a big hit!


We let the kids run around in the backyard and playroom - and they just had a blast. Olivia was too shy from the happy birthday song and all the attention to blow out her candles, so she made her friend Lorelei do it. The cutest!


Can't believe our big girl is 4! This was the most fun birthday party yet - since she was old enough to really get excited and pick out things to do. 

After the party, Emma got a glass of kids champagne. She walked it all the way to a table, pulled out a chair. Sat down. Chugged it. Slammed her cup down. Yelled "More more!" Stumbled back to the alcohol table, tripped, face planted, lost her cup, and, with her face in the ground, yelled "more more champagne!" It should have been time to cut her off, but we used the next glass to bribe her into a family picture.
