A Picture Post

Laila has been 5 now for almost a month...so perhaps it is time to show some proof of the celebration:)

The girls had a lunch buffet and pink lemonade

This was our 'photo booth' for the princesses to dress up and get a pic with the birthday girl

 For the craft the girls painted wooden vanity mirrors and then added rhinestones and glitter

       

The mirrors dried and then Jon screwed the glass part back in and we popped them into the princess paper bags and they doubled as the party favor:)

Laila had a fabulous time playing dress up, painting, and spending a great afternoon with her friends!  This birthday feels like such a 'marker' in time for Jon and I; we have been parents now for half a decade and we have a 'kindergarten-er'.  So crazy how life really does fly, especially once you have children!

For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appeareth for a little time, and then vanishes away (James 4:14).

Laila is turning 5

I know I am supposed to be back here with a 'part 2' to complete my 'part 1' post from last week.  But instead of compiling more vacation pictures I have been Pinning way too much and getting ready for Laila's big number 5 birthday celebration.  Her girlfriends will be coming over Saturday and I have lots to create.  It is a Princess Art party-at Laila's request.  So we will be mixing it up with a little crafting and a little dressing up.  Here are some of my pins:

All of these images are found via my Pinterest boards.  We are going to play a couple of games too-maybe hot princess potato and princess bingo.  It will be fun getting to watch her have her first 'big' kid party with friends:)  So next time I will have some party pics and some beach pics to wrap up our July!
